Draw inspiration from the 800+ Rebeca Wild-based schools across Europe and the globe. These schools are designed to support each child’s unique strengths, needs, skills, and interests. Flow-state environments (as shown on the photos in the book) provide children with an optimal learning experience, every day. These two powerful educational paradigms come together to form the New Learning Culture (NLC).

The NLC Model distills the essence of Rebeca Wild-based schools into a framework and guidelines for Educators in Pre-K-8, ensuring children develop emotional intelligence, and adding best practices from Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Wilderness Education, and other innovative approaches to meet the needs of diverse children:

⁃      including children from various cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds, 

⁃      highly sensitive children and those who thrive with gross motor activities, 

⁃      children with learning and other differences, 

⁃      and highly gifted children –– yet without the need for labeling a child.

In the NLC model, children receive what they need to thrive:

•    Classrooms become flow-state environments

•    Teachers become supportive learning companions

•    and Parents are welcome to collaborate.
