We have discovered…

4 year olds can make decisions about their learning. Discovery and freedom are the best motivators. Students thrive within a healthy social network and within a community that supports them. Children learn naturally and easily when allowed the freedom to do so.

I think and feel your program is absolutely wonderful! We are super happy with Ian’s progress and he is learning new things each and every day. I have faith in you and your teachers and program that it will be as wonderful as it was when we started the first of the year. I feel that ORSCH is a wonderful place and great environment for our children and thank you for having a space available for our son.

My entire intention in wanting to get together with you was to simply gush about Orsch! I can’t say enough about how profound it has been for me to witness the magic. Rory has grown immensely and he has found a place of empowerment and belief in himself that fuels his innate love of learning and love of life from which great and miraculous things can occur. And he is not the only child who has received this wonderous gift…you are indeed serving in a very real and meaningful way. Our children are truly our future and Orsch is helping make the future sparkle with hope!

Jackie, I just want you to know how much I value and appreciate all you have given and continue to give (on a 24 hour basis!) to this educational revolution. And if I can do anything to help ease the load, I am here for you, as I know many others are as well. PLEASE don’t hesitate to call on your support network. We have all benefitted from your efforts and I for one have much enery to give back.

Today Orion found his math papers and told me, “this is hard, but at least you can have lots of help and other kids can help explain it and everyone actually works with you to try and help you learn it, not just write it for you and say see that’s how you do it.” He is no where near the frustration level as he was before at the PS. I think that he knows its hard, but getting all the good help he has been getting, and the support, he will figure this out!!! Thanks, its so nice to not see him in tears when he is talking about math !!!

I almost fell over last week when I walked in to pick her up and she was on stage putting on a play. Two weeks ago, she wouldn’t even look her teacher in the eye. As far as we are concerned, you are a hero. She told me by day three, “Mama, I feel like I have been going to Orsh for a hundred years”. I wish we could adequately express our appreciation.
