Mindful Heartfelt Workshops:

Learning objectives include self-regulation, character education, breath work, verbal and non-verbal communication, compassion, virtues, and nurturing a child’s sense of self through heart connection, spirituality, creative expression, and general wellness. Mindful movement workshops are included throughout the year including martial arts, ecstatic dance, yoga, cooperative games, stretching, gymnastics, and callisthenic
exercise.

Bilingual Education:

Our bilingual curriculum and team nurture “simultaneous bilingualism” within our young local children, most of whom have been exposed to two or more languages since birth. Daily exposure and opportunities to use and learn both English and Spanish equally, encourages and honors our children’s natural language acquisition. Non-local, visiting children are immersed in a language-rich environment, experiencing and acquiring both English and Spanish socially through play and adult modeling. Private Spanish instruction is also available.

Project-Based Learning:

Topics may be customized to children’s level, interests, and strengths but in general incorporates an authentic age-appropriate challenge or problem to be solved, partner or small group collaboration, student-centered inquiry and problem-solving, and presentation of learning. Previous topics included: raising awareness about endangered wildlife in Costa Rica, designing a home-school garden & compost, and developing a student-led business creating organic home and body products, hosting a student-led art festival, and organizing a community sea turtle release event.

Individualized 'Life Projects':

Nurturing a child’s own natural talents and personal passions facilitate the discovery of their intrinsic “calling”, an element that is tragically ignored and stifled in traditional settings. Personalized early education is a direct pathway to help children recognize and fulfill their full potential. “Life Projects” include fully customized, individualized learning goals based solely on the child’s joys and gifts. As mentors, we support children in identifying topics and skills to explore and nourish.

Global Village School Curriculum:

Life Project Education proudly partners with WASC accredited Global Village School, a holistic education program in California. Families may elect to dually enroll in both Life Project Education’s program as well as the GVS program in order to receive a fully accredited verification of grade completion.

Misión / Intención

All of life is interconnected, so is the curriculum within our programs.

As parents and educators, we must first acknowledge that children are organisms, not mechanisms. Our unique inter-disciplinary student projects and Family Retreats emphasize holistic learning values such as understanding our place and potential within the universe, physical health and nutrition, energetic health and mindfulness, and connection to the natural world and dynamic communities.


Empowering children (and families!) to develop their authentic passions, purpose, and life path requires a new approach to teaching and learning. We believe the role of the teacher should move far beyond that of mere transmission and transaction.

We are committed to a transformational approach, believing firmly that:

Integration of learning models and theories based on cutting-edge quantum physics, neuroscience, child development, and basic human ethics have inspired the evolution of our energy-driven, student-centered program. We are committed to methodologies that honor the profound significance of childhood with integrity and a curriculum designed with an understanding of children’s natural rhythms, biology, and humanity.

Our holistic, project-based pedagogy is flexible and inspired by revolutionary thinkers such as Dr. Amit Goswami, Rudolf Steiner, Alan Watts, Maria Montessori, Sri Krishnamurti, Ram Dass, and Sir Ken Robinson. Instruction is not disconnected and isolated, driven by tests, politics, nor corporate curriculum; it is mindfully driven by heart, authenticity, and pure joy.
