Growth and Evolution

The Velja Approach to Schooling is wholly and absolutely committed to the Growth and Evolution of students.

This is in stark contrast to the current model of education which has the mandate of making children into functional, obedient drones.

I will say it again, the Assembly Line has permitted our species to enjoy heretofore unprecedented material abundance, but, the philosophy which created the Assembly Line has seeped into the belief with which we approach education (all of our relationships really).

We must recognize this.
Recognize that it is wholly unfulfilling and choose to embrace a system which strengthens, rather than weakens our children.

Why?

Because Earth sure could use Humanity's very first generation of universally, strong, confident, empowered human beings.
A generation which would mark the next step in human evolution.

All by just believing in our children,
in the way we were never believed in.

Chains are meant to be broken after all.
