We are delighted you are considering Walden’s Path for your child. Following twenty years of dedicated research into diverse alternative educational strategies, including many experimental projects, Walden’s Path was established ten years ago. Serving as both an education research centre and a school. Our world is changing at a breakneck pace. From medical breakthroughs to revolutions in communication and from evolving entertainment to changing food habits – all corners of life have been transformed. Yet, classroom teaching has missed this wave of change. There’s plenty of new research out there. Discoveries in psychology, neuroscience, and brain sciences have unveiled new insights into how we think, learn, and teach. But much of this is yet to make its way into our classrooms, which still often rely on traditional lesson plans and textbooks. These old structures often hamper efforts to blend creativity and innovation into teaching. At Walden’s Path, we’re not against traditional methods, nor do we claim to have a silver bullet for education. We’re driven by our dissatisfaction with the current state and an eager wish to spark change instead of just complaining about it. Like any school, we use lesson plans, textbooks, desks, chairs, computers, and blackboards. But the change we’re advocating isn’t about these material things – it’s about transforming the learning process, merging insights from neurosciences, cognitive sciences, psychology, and age-old wisdom.
