ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION


THE SCIENCE & REASONS

One-size-fits-all education is a relic of the industrial age. Our world is
radically different, and changing fast.


PERSONALIZED LEARNING

Picture a world where your child sets the pace and learns at their own speed,
and is free to pursue their own interests


HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

We know more about how we learn and that learning is not just about rote
memorization or cognitive skills. Learning requires nurturing the cognitive,
emotional, social, and spiritual.


PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE

Ours is the first generation in the history of humankind to not know what
careers will exist 15 years from now. Instead of using dated curriculum we must
help children learn to learn, through their lives.




"ONE SIZE FITS ALL"


DOESN'T WORK

Over the last 100 years, the world has changed immensely, with new technologies
and ways of life emerging. Surprisingly, schools haven't changed much.



Rigid Curriculum

Traditional schools often use unchanged curriculum and old ways of teaching that
may not be interesting, scientific or helpful for all students.

Teaching To Test

An emphasis on standardized curriculum on testing almost always turns into an
emphasis on shallow surface skills and teaching to test.

No Personal Attention

Traditional schools have far too many students in one class. Teachers simply do
not have enough time to help students with their unique needs.


WHAT ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS FOCUS ON

There are are multiple alternatives to age-segregated education and fixed
curricula

Project Based Learning

Traditional curricula divide knowledge into arbitrary silos. But as we
eventually discover as adults, knowledge is interlinked. Projects do this
naturally by weaving in multiple aspects. Many alternative schools use projects
instead of textbooks to help foster learning.

Real-World Skills

The biggest complaint of employers is how woefully unprepared graduates are.
That is a tragedy when you consider the hundreds of millions who have undergone
decades of schooling. Alternative schools connect learning to meaningful skills.
Learning comes naturally when students find mind in what they are doing.

Holistic Development

We are heading into a future where intelligence will be commoditized. A trait we
once thought was unique to us and valuable will now be available on billions of
smartphones in a few years. Ever more than before, it makes sense to do what is
natural – focus on all aspects of human development instead of obsessing with
the cognitive.


DESIRABLE DIFFICULTIES


& CHALLENGES

Alternative schooling does not mean kids do as they please and laze around. Good
alternative approaches find ways to make challenges meaningful.


EMBRACING EXPLORATION

Traditional schools stigmatize mistakes and create the wrong illusion that there
is one right method. The world is complex, interconnected, and changing. What
was right once can quickly become wrong. And there is one path to excellence.


SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING

Life does not come with textbooks, teachers, and tests. We have to figure it
out. On our own and with the help of our tribe.


MAKING IT MEANINGFUL

We are meaning making machines. Our superpower is taking in ambiguity and
ignorance and transforming it into meaningful patterns. Traditional schooling
hides the real and cocoons children in the abstract and arbitrary.


COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS


ABOUT NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION

So many of us think that our current education system is good because it has
survived the test of time. We forget how recent it is and what its roots are.

Children who do not go to regular schools lack socialization skills and are
often weird.

Myth #1

Children, whether they are homeschooled or in alternative schools that allow
them to discover their self, are often far more well adjusted and mature.

The Fact


ALTERNATIVE APPROACH / TRADITIONAL EXCELLENCE

Alternative schooling and homeschooling offer a path to unconventional careers.
But that does not mean they cannot lead to success on conventional paths. Sahal
is a homeschooler who ranked 33rd in the 2010 IIT entrance exam at the age of
14.




LET US EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES TOGETHER

We are parents who rejected the standard approach because we know something far
better is possible and needed. Come help us make it happen.


SHARE YOUR STORY

Are you an alternative schooler or homeschooler? Share your journey and help
others learn what is possible.


GET INVOLVED

We need help spreading the word, creating projects, building apprenticeships —
and discovering what might know just yet.


CURATE A COMMUNITY

Get in touch with interested families in your neighbourhood or city and make
help bring alternatives to millions
