childrenFor more than 50 years, the Living Wisdom Schools have helped children thrive academically and personally. Our success is based on a proven principle: children who are happy and confident approach learning with enthusiasm. Children who feel respected, included, and safe can enjoy the challenges of a rigorous academic curriculum, delivered in an expansive spirit of joyful adventure.

Parents occasionally ask us, “Will my child be able to perform well when s/he goes out into the real world?” Our commitment to teaching life skills such as collaboration and conflict resolution gives our students the skills they need to face life in an authentic way.

Our graduates demonstrate impressive poise, compassion, and inner strength. They know how to laugh, they trust themselves, they practice kindness, and are lifelong learners.
