Schools Inspired by The Holistic Curriculum

Abstract

The Holistic Curriculum, first published in 1988, and the graduate course with the same name has inspired the development of four different schools.  This paper first outlines the major principles of the Holistic Curriculum-inclusion, balance and connection.  It then describes each of the four schools-The Roger White Academy, The School at the Toronto Ronald MacDonald House Charity, the Equinox Holistic Alternative School, and the Selm Academy.  It also mentions the possibility of another school at the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario.
