We assume that the kind of education a country gives its children has a direct connection to the direction that country will take.

We believe that the education we provide our children will be decisive in their collective ability to “be on the turn”.

We believe people need to learn where the limits are and where they aren’t.

We believe people need to learn the implications of interdependence on the pursuit of self interest.

We believe people need to address essential questions like: What is success? What kind of future will we invent? Does the world need a new economic model? What criteria will we use to reconcile the conflicts that exist between individual rights and our responsibilities as citizens?

We believe people need to consider the choices they make every day—and whether those choices will help or hurt them, others and the places in which they live, in the short and the long run.

We believe people need to learn that we are, for better or for worse, mutually responsible for one another’s well being and for the health of the natural systems upon which our lives and all life depends.
