Our primary goal is accessibility. We encourage learners who align with self-directed educational philosophies to apply regardless of their household income or access to resources. It is our intention to never turn away a motivated learners for financial reasons.
LEARNING IN COMMUNITY
In-Person Community Days: Lilac community members meet at a predetermined location to set the day, check in, and set intentions. From there we break into groups based on the learners chosen activities. These activities may involve going to different locations. Learners engage in activities that are offered by trained Learning Facilitators. These educational offerings include, but are not limited to, engineering challenges, science experiments, literature circles, arts and crafts activities, permaculture, video and audio production, drama, math instruction, field trips to local museums and other locations for history studies, social justice causes, current event discussions, and nature studies. Our learners imaginations are the only limit. Learners and Facilitators work together to find resources to deepen the learners’ knowledge in their various areas of interest. At the end of our day, learners and facilitators come together again to reflect on the days activities. These morning and afternoon meetings foster students’ practice of engaging in cycles of learning (i.e., setting of intentions, creation, reflection, sharing).
Family members are active participants at Lilac and are encouraged to facilitate offerings to share their areas of expertise with the community of learners.
