Holistic Development

is a philosophy of education based on the

premise that each person finds identity,
meaning, and purpose in life through
connections to the community, to the
natural world, and to humanitarian values
such as compassion and peace. Holistic
education aims to call forth from people an
intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate
love of learning
 Holism

Is about seeing things as

a whole and as something
that is bigger than the
sum of its parts
