Four pillars, one whole person

Every subject, at every grade, grows out of four dimensions of a whole person — not out of disconnected school subjects.

P1

Emotional & Social Awareness

Who am I, and how do I live well with others?

 P2

Physical & Somatic Awareness

How do I understand and care for my body?

 P3

Intellectual & Cognitive Awareness

How do I think, reason, and know?

 P4

Contextual & Ecological Awareness

What world do I live in, and what do I owe it?

What it stands for

  • Holistic — mind, body, emotion, and context grow together, year after year.
  • Egalitarian — built to benefit the many, never the few.
  • Global & anthropological — never one nation’s default view.
  • Ethical — ethics are a lens through which everything is taught.
  • Honest about technology — its effects on humanity and the Earth, taught without worship or fear.
  • Open — free, remixable, and licensed to stay that way.
