What's Integral about Integral Education?

Integral education derives its name from improved integration on three levels:

  • Societal – The integral school makes a natural fit with democratic society and our fast-moving post-industrial economy.
  • Institutional – Integral education combines practices of the old models, places them in a broader school context, and adds new patterns of learning not previously available.
  • Personal – Integral education integrates various aspects and facets of children’s lives in new and wholesome ways.

Let’s take a more in-depth look at the improved alignment in each of these arenas.
