| The
young are inheriting a complex world. It is a world
in which rapid technological progress goes hand-in-hand
with environmental, social, economic, and political
crises. Must the young take the world as it is, accepting
an education that enables them to 'fit in' to society,
or can they learn to question deeply what they see and
respond creatively out of a sense of personal integrity
that enables them to meet whatever life may bring?
At
Brockwood Park School we are committed to educating
young people to meet life as a whole. Academic excellence
is absolutely necessary, but equal importance is given
to an ongoing inquiry into the way we live our daily
lives. Many of the difficulties in today's world are
the outcome of attitudes and beliefs that education
for our times needs to examine.
In
the secure and friendly surroundings of Brockwood Park,
students are encouraged to reflect on their own thoughts,
feelings and actions and on those of others. Brockwood
offers a setting where students and staff can learn
to live and work together harmoniously and intelligently.
This process is liberating, for with growth in awareness
and understanding of our behaviour, we can discover
the immense potential of life and our possibility of
living it to the full.
