The Five Domains are the pillars of an education at Rainbow Mountain Children’s School:
1. Academic/mental
2. Spiritual
3. Emotional
4. Social/moral
5. Physical
When we speak of a child’s development, we always refer to every domain to be sure we are seeing each child holistically.
Rainbow Mountain Children’s School, since 1977, has been ahead of its time in understanding child development from a spiritual perspective. Yet, like all things spiritual, it is often hard to describe in words. Therefore, the purpose of this Heart of the Matter is to bring the spiritual domain to light.

Remember playing as a child? Most of us had a lot more freedom as children to run through backyards, wade in a creek, or form a neighborhood baseball game than kids do today. It turns out, all that “play” time helped us develop the most important skill for success in life: EXECUTIVE FUNCTION. To learn more: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19212514
