“Whiles much of the Victorian Era's education prepared young people for the workforce, school looked different for children of wealthy families. A governess would offer the upper class children lessons in music and art and languages that in turn benefited the child's education and understanding of the world. Meanwhile, the children in the lower classes received only the minimal basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. An important premise of the born person approach is that people of every background and status should have access to a wide curriculum and the freedom to search for knowledge. Each child is worthy of a liberal education for all.”

“We seek to be sources of inspiration who walk alongside children and help them find the treasure of knowledge that was meant for them with solutions they can tie into the story of their lives. As we observe the divine spark in them, we begin to understand who they really are and the valuable part they play in the world. We learn to celebrate raising humans who will add to the grand story of all our lives.”
