A school is a place where one learns both the importance of knowledge and its irrelevance. It is a place where one learns to observe the world without a particular point of view or conclusion. One learns to look at the whole of man's endeavour, his search for beauty, his search for truth and a way of living that is not a contradiction between conclusion and action. It is a place where both the teacher and the taught learn a way of life in which conflict ends. Conflict is the very essence of violence.

It is here one learns the importance of relationship which is not based on attachment or possessiveness. It is in the school one must learn about the movement of thought, love and death, for all this is the whole of life.
 

 J. Krishnamurti.

A brief introduction from the words of the founder:

Education for Life ?

What is the purpose/significance of education and life?  This question was asked by Krishnamurti and has been an ancient one. As T. S. Eliot said to know what we want in education we must know what we want in general.   Is education just to earn a living, life to enjoy and/or is there something more.  .......      click here to continue

SCHOOLS ONLINE
Wholeschool.org

Wholeschool.org is a non-profit, educational organization with an objective to create and deliver courses for children in self-awareness without judgment.  Our first 12-lesson course, The Journey of Me, is for children 6 to 11 years of age and is available for free from our website. 

 

The lessons are in multimedia format and are designed to be fun and engaging for children and promote exploration of themselves and their world around them.  We decided to make the lessons available to everyone so that parents and teachers could review the materials and decide if it works for them and their children.  You can obtain free access to the lessons through this link:  http://www.wholeschool.org/index.php?s=free&p=free

 

We encourage parents and teachers to consider having a group of five to ten children participate in what we call the "Global Wave".  The Global Wave connects four or five groups of children at the same time and together, they participate in The Journey of Me course using live, Internet webcasting.  Children really love this live connection to other children in different parts of the country and world.  More details are given through this link:  http://www.wholeschool.org/index.php?s=global&p=global
