At the heart of Integral Education lies the proposition that humanity is not a finished product but a being in transition. Humanity’s deepest longings — truth, freedom, joy, and light — have endured through every age. They are not merely personal dreams, but signs of a greater movement within life itself. Though these ideals are often contradicted by our everyday experience, they also point to something higher and more real — experiences that may seem rare or inaccessible, but are in fact the next step in our unfolding, signals of what Nature is preparing. They may be attained slowly, through the general evolution of the human race, or more swiftly, through conscious and concentrated individual effort. An Evolution-Centric Education invites the child to participate in shaping the world  it will experience.
