About this organization
Mission

About
At Living Wisdom School, we feel that children should benefit from the storehouse of wisdom that humanity has gathered through the ages concerning the best ways to achieve a happy, fulfilled life. We feel it is our God-given duty to teach children these essential life skills, starting at a young age. An education that gives children the tools they need to achieve both inner and external success is a useful education, indeed! For more than forty years, we have seen that children who are taught how to have a happy life are more likely to achieve academic success as well. At LWS, children learn the life skills they need to be balanced, mature, effective, happy, and harmonious human beings. We call this art “Education for Life,” because we continually relate the children’s classroom lessons to life as a whole. At LWS, we study not only the great things that people have done, but the human qualities that enabled them to attain those achievements.
