Wondertree Learning Systems (now called “Self Design”) has developed a fully integrated approach to teaching children how to learn; moreover, how to follow their spirit to learn that which will empower them to give their unique gifts to life.
Brent Cameron, the founder of Wondertree, understood the value in letting a child choose the course of learning from her natural desires to follow her spirit path. We have many examples of children being crammed with information redundant to their life paths, living lives of frustration, acting out because their intellects were being bred into confinement.
Whether we choose Wondertree, Self-Design, Montessori, Waldorf, or a combination of these and other learning systems, the freedom for the child to choose their own paths through life must be considered important in our choices. The object is to raise clear thinking, self-determined individuals.
