Quotes
Quotes that inspire the school!
“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed---- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passion.”
- Sir Ken Robinson
“Accept children with reverence, educate them with love, send them forth in freedom.”
- Rudolf Steiner
“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything”
- William Shakespeare
“Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual not a conformist: it should furnish you with as original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges: It should allow you to find value which will be your road map through life: it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.”
- John Taylor Gatto
