Redwood School
Nestled in 98 acres of
sunny, serene redwood forest adjacent to Nisene Marks State Park, Tara
Redwood School provides an unparalleled learning environment of peace
and beauty.
As a pilot school for Essential Education, our values-based program is geared toward empowering children to make a positive difference in the world.
Established in 1996, the school's purpose has been to educate
the whole child. Not only do we strive to help children come
to know the joy of learning, we also provide a foundation
for the emotional and inner development of each child through
our Essential Education Program.

Lama's Vision for Kids
Creating Compassionate Cultures
|
Since 1989, Pam Cayton and staff at Lamas Vision for Kids at Tara Redwood School, California, have created, implemented and researched strategies for awakening compassion, wisdom and social responsibility in the minds and hearts of children.
The Seven Steps to Knowledge, Strength and
Compassion is a unique, secular educational
methodology developed at Tara Redwood School
in Santa Cruz, California. It blends the best of
Eastern and Western approaches for
educating the hearts and minds of children.
The Seven Steps program was inspired
by the late Tibetan master Lama Thubten Yeshe
and his vision for “a new kind of universal education” – now known as Essential Education. It has been developed over a period of 18 years and is suitable for children of any faith or culture. Read more about the program & Lama's vision ~
All FKTW proceeds go back into the development of materials and training programs for LVK Essential Education. Any profits are shared with projects in our global community that are helping to make a positive difference in the world. |
