"Human beings are storytelling primates. We are curious, and we love to learn. The challenge for each teacher is to find ways to.... take advantage of the novelty-seeking property of the human brain to facilitate learning."

...Believing that “the potential of children is stunted when the endpoint of their learning is formulated in advance”, teachers develop an “emergent curriculum” in collaboration with the learners. The design of the school building (including an atelier or art space), and the careful cultivation of relationships between teachers, administrators and families, create a rich educational ecology that supports learner-centered practices. ...the school (is) “an integral living organism, ...a place of shared lives” in which “children, teachers and families feel at home”
