This first video below is a summary of our educational philosophy shared by our Philosophy Director, Judy McComb, and the second one is a TED Talk given by the late Sir Ken Robinson about the urgent need for schools that don't place their emphasis on 'teaching to the test' but rather on nurturing innate curiosity.  At one point he says, "the arts aren't just important to children because they improve maths scores, but because they speak to the parts of a child's being that are otherwise left untouched" - this is something with which Charlotte Mason would very much agree.
