Our Promise to You

Your Child Will:

Begin a Hero’s Journey.
Learn to be a curious, independent, lifelong learner.
Develop a deep respect for economic, political and religious freedoms.
Cherish the arts, wonders of the physical world and the mysteries of life on Earth.
Discover his or her most precious gifts and learn to use them to solve difficult problems.

“I love it! It's amazing how many useful, real world things they learn in a week compared to traditional school. Charlie’s new thirst for knowledge about things other than sports is amazing to watch. I no longer have to fight him to want to learn.

He loves going to THRiVE everyday. He’s actually excited to get there every morning. What you're doing for these kids needs to be better known. If more parents understood that learning can be different and fun and functional as compared to the traditional model of cramming a bunch of useless facts into the kids and then testing and judging how much they retained - we would be living in a much more positive world. Thank you for everything you do. I'm not sure you understand how life changing your school has been for us. I’m so glad to have met you and be a part of THRiVE!”
