Community:
In a school, it is the strong and nurturing class community
that provides a foundation that is easily extended into the
larger school, local, and global communities through the child’s
activities and studies. In a homeschool, this community is
the family.
| “The Enki graduates
entered 7th grade as a positive and supportive
peer group. They were a strong enough community
to carry five new children into this positive mood.
They maintained their sense of group and yet expanded
it to include the new ones.” |

Reverence
for the Environment: Through long walks in the woods,
gardening, roadside clean-up, animal care, and similar activities,
children engage with and participate in the care of the natural
world around them. These ongoing activities are deepened and
brought to understanding through our science curriculum.

How
Do They Fare?
On statewide tests, 80% of 6th graders in an
Enki classroom scored in the highest levels in both Math and Language
Arts, as compared with a statewide average of only 23%.
"The Enki graduates’ overall attitude and
positive outlook toward learning has been fantastic.
What stands out most strongly is their openness to and
love
of learning - that is quite uncommon for children at
this age. They have been a delight” |
- middle school principal
