Values and Visions is for every educator of 8- to 16-year-olds who has to deliver the curriculum, but wants to do it in their own way – a way that gives young people a holistic education which nourishes the mind, body and spirit and allows their innate qualities to flourish.
Our Mission
Values and Visions provides teachers with the tools to develop young people’s inner strength, confidence and sense of hope; to enable them to discover meaning and purpose and to empower them to be part of creating a sustainable future in a chaotic, volatile world.
Holistic
Values and Visions is a process that encourages the development of the whole person across the whole curriculum – socially, creatively, physically, spiritually, morally, and culturally. It provides a dynamic learning cycle that uses reason, reflection, and analysis alongside imagination, play, stillness, and mindfulness.
Practical
Starting with the everyday problems and challenges, Values and Visions provides experiences where young people realise for themselves what is important to them in life.
Tried and Tested
Twenty-five years of experience show that, if you do indeed follow the Values and Visions process, the results will be outstanding. The ordinary really can become extraordinary.
