We
believe that
holistic education
has many benefits.
The following list
of benefits to
students are just
some of the benefits
that have been
identified through
extensive research
into the power of
the holistic
education when it is
embodied by teachers
who understand the
multi-dimensionality
required to address
the learning needs
and styles that
exist in every
classroom.
Students develop a
deep sense of
wellness as all
aspects of the self
are respected and
honored:
intellectual,
emotional, physical,
spiritual, and
social;
-
Greater sense of
connection with
and appreciation
for the natural
environment
-
Students develop
a sense of
social awareness
and
responsibility
as they work on
community
service
projects;
-
Children have a
better
understanding of
the rhythm and
the structure of
the world around
them
-
Improved sense
of identity and
self-worth
-
Improved
listening and
awareness of
other's needs as
they solve
problem together
both at school
meetings and in
learning
activities;
-
Students see the
practical
application of
the things they
are learning -
learning is more
real and
meaningful
-
Students have a
deeper and
richer aesthetic
sense as a
result of the
arts-integrated
approach
