The Raintree Philosophy When the child goes forth into Raintree Learning Community, the child steps each day onto a living road that will lead to worlds never imagined and a life, limitless and free. Each path, chosen by young minds, awakens an endless longing to learn, love, and live with wonder, reverence, and gratitude. It is our highest endeavor for each child to walk the planet with a head that is full and a heart that wants more.
We believe the principal of a good education is to develop human beings who will meet the roads of their lives with strength, integrity, enchantment, inspiration, and clarity of purpose. This goal is achieved through a carefully crafted approach that respects the vast spirit of childhood at every stage of their development. It is enriched with our understanding that surprises, secrets, and unknowns must exist for children if they are to learn unfettered. By thoughtfully empowering each child to direct the path that their learning will take, children at Raintree Learning Community examine themselves as they explore their world unlike any generation before them. Imaginations ignite as children research, tend, explore, and question all they see, hear, and feel. Here their lives are enchanted, at every moment, with music, art, literature, drama, and the natural environment. Here the gentle natures of children are nurtured as they develop into responsible, perceptive, and fortifying members of our diverse global community. These shall be the stepping stones of brilliant human beings on the path toward achieving beauty and harmony in their lives.
