We seek to define a unique curriculum emphasising the humanity of children and to allow their innate talents to flourish. We are inspired by Waldorf Schools, STEM programs, Montessori schools, and farming programs like 4H. Our goal is to create an innovative new model and open a flagship Academy at a beautiful natural location. Children will sing to the trees, write in journals, perform plays, care for animals and each other, while also learning advanced technical material at their individual pace... The current education system is failing the test of providing holistic engagement to children specifically by enforcing a test taking policy on them. At Helvetian Academy, Music, Art, and Theatre are central to our mission, developing well rounded kids that understand and can improvise, rather than just pass a standardised test. Our model is new, but we believe that including technical information in a natural setting and at a refined pace will lead to better performance and happier..
