The Hero's Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to help each child uncover their genius, discover their calling, and become the hero of their own life story.
We are Heroes in training.
YOU are.
​
So are each of your children.
​
And future heroes need a hero's training.
They won't be prepared for their life mission and purpose with the rote learning of the past -- the kind that was designed to train future factory workers.
​
Heroes need to learn how to think, analyze, innovate, and create!
​
They need to become informed, intelligent, and empowered community members who can create lasting change.
​
And it begins by 'pushing' power to the children.
If a child does not SEE and UNDERSTAND that they are training to be a hero -- they won't be prepare themselves to be one.
If the ENVIRONMENT -- and every element of the CURRICULUM -- are not designed around 'hero training' they will be at a disadvantage.
​
Future heroes (ages 5-20) need a VISION of where they are going and the FREEDOM to pursue it.
​
They need to be able to take real risks with the potential of failure or loss.
​
They need to feel their own power and learn to control and direct it.
​
To do this in a safe way, they need clarity and structure. They also need systems and mentors to guide and protect them.
It's gritty and dreamy and not for the faint of heart. But it inspires growth and transformation.
