BE Mentor Development

Biophilic Education is a new approach to teaching and learning, bringing together years of academic research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience. We are shifting the values away from an all knowing, authoritative teacher figure that stands at the front of the class to fill empty children with remembered knowledge, to a shared learning journey where a teacher becomes a facilitator of learning.

We ask students what they are interested in, what they are curious about and help them discover where their talents lie. We foster environments where both teachers and students can explore their passions, grow in confidence and collaborate to produce innovative and imaginative solutions to the worlds problems.

“Give thanks for what you have been given.
Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken.
Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever.”
