The first week of school is always inspiring.  Yesterday I received a wonderful note from the parent of two students at Rainbow:  This evening my kids were telling me about their day in front of a little girl who lives across the street.  They were telling me about starting “intricate and complex self-portraits.”  The other little girl asked “What does that teach you in third grade?”   [My son] said, “Our school does fun things and you learn things without even knowing it!” [My daughter] said, Yea, our teacher makes everything very fun and she is so smart.”  The conversation went on a while and at the end [my daughter] said, “I love school” and [my son] smiled and said, “Yeah, me too”.Â

Later they told me it is going to be the best year ever!Â

Thank you Rainbow Community)for being a part of making my children enjoy school, love learning, and getting to be a part of an amazing community.

Love, [parent of two children]

Heart of the Matter – Education From the Heart, For the Heart

Heart of the Matter – Education From the Heart, For the Heart

In this issue, Rainbow’s Executive Director Renee’s article is titled “Education from the Heart, for the Heart.”

You may have seen the phrase “Education from the Heart for the Heart” as a tag line in some of Rainbow’s advertisements. This isn’t just a catchy phrase. Certainly, it speaks to the loving care that Rainbow teachers provide, but it means even more: Rainbow believes that we are at the forefront of a societal shift to a more heart-centered era.

If we are to create a society that is peaceful, sustainable, and spiritually fulfilling, it is going to happen one heart at a time. At Rainbow, we believe we are helping to usher in a more heart centered era by educating our children holistically. This issue of Heart of the Matter describes heart centered education and explains what the term “heart-centered” really means.
