“The highest function of education is to bring about an integrated individual who is capable of dealing with life as a whole.” -J. Krishnamurti
The purpose of holistic education is to prepare students to meet the challenges of living as well as academics. Holistic education believes it is important for young people to learn:
-
About themselves.
-
About healthy relationships and pro-social behavior.
-
Social development.
-
Emotional development.
-
Resilience.
-
To see beauty, have awe, experience transcendence, and appreciate some sense of “truths”.
At BBS students are encouraged to discover the potential within themselves so that they can take their place in society and make an impact in the world.
