Why is worldliness important?
Worldliness unlocks powerful, well-documented short- and long-term benefits, which include better socialization now and a smoother transition into higher education and career pursuits later. We seek to produce more balanced, nimble, and mature learners. Social investments include expanding horizons, demystifying cultures, increasing sensitivity, building consideration, improving understanding, developing awareness, inviting collaboration, and establishing new friendships.
Why are adventure and exploration important?
Learning is amplified by the spirit of adventure and exploration. Seven benefits to you and your child’s education include learning to face and overcome fears, experiencing greater rewards (which are often associated with greater risks), feeling alive as you encounter and consider things that are otherworldly, enjoying camaraderie and shared experiences when you venture with others, expanding your repertoire by learning and practicing new skills, growing emotionally stronger when you struggle beyond your limits, and experienceing a sense of freedom and wonder as you become a closer part of nature.
