WHAT IS HOLLY SCHOOL?
Since I started my training in education, I knew within my heart of hearts that I wanted to create a way for children to learn. I searched high and low in all the education systems possible. Yep, that’s right, all of them. Public, private, prestigious, and alternative. I stayed mainly in schools where the Principal liked what I was doing and yet, couldn't figure out exactly what I was doing. For a long time, I didn’t either. First, I was the best teacher I could possibly be, yet, the system didn’t work for me. I could see long ago that it didn’t work for the children either. So, in the four walls of my classroom, I taught the children the way that worked for them. My teaching catered to the emotional, social, metal, spiritual, physical needs of each child. I had individualised programs long before the term was even invented.
Fast forward 25 + years later and the education system ha crumbled. This is exactly what teachers aren’t telling you because no one wants it to be true. It is. The Education system has not assisted and supported our children for a long time. It doesn’t surprise me that many children are refusing to go to school.
There truly needs to be way of education that assists the children of today. We need new visionaries who can step outside of the current education system and embody a soul centred way of teaching. One in which follows through on what it says it’s capable of doing. I am sceptical of the many ‘new’ education systems popping up that sound so amazing. I do hope that they can follow through on what they offer. I do believe that it takes a certain kind of person to embody and put into practice what is required for our children.
How I teach and have always taught, the way that always felt right to me with a real sense of knowingness is what I offer to you. I am here to assist homeschooler parents and their children to create a grassroots movement. One in which parents and children show the education systems how it was always meant to be.
How I teach and the teaching system I embody includes:
Learning style strengths focus (in age groups)
The hero’s journey
