Rethinking Education

Learning for Everyday & Academic Fulfillment

In his personal diary, John Quincy Adams recorded a quote originally ascribed to Caecilius Statius: “He who plants trees labors for the benefit of future generations.”

Recognizing this sentiment as a natural allegory for education, Aurelia seeks to plant and nurture a new form of personalized, holistic learning into the sterile ashes of our secular, industrialized schools. Like saplings sprung from charred soil, Aurelia frames all future programs as elements of a tree grown to provide shade for the youth yet to come, with leaves striving ever for the new light come at dawn.

Thus, Aurelia’s L.E.A.F. program aims to provide K-12 students with the intellectual component of their personal development. Alongside real-life experiences offered by B.A.S.E. and career preparation within R.O.O.T., this curriculum allows students to work at a flexible pace to progress as quickly as possible in the academic subjects that appeal most to who they are and what they seek in life.
