In 1818, Noah Webster sold 5 million copies of his Spelling Book. Our nation only had 20 million residents.  One in 4 people bought his book. People were well read and cultured learning at home. Our forefathers  believed our country would grow  to be a more civilized productive republic if every citizen could learn the seven arts of reading, writing, thinking, singing, calculating, bookkeeping and speaking. How true they were! School began as institutions to promote lifelong learning for the masses, and created the greatest country in the world.  Prior to formal public primary/ secondary schooling people learned at home.

However,  public primary/ secondary schools began were not meant to supplement at home learning. The home is still critical to process of lifelong learning. Most children learn and  replicate their parents' strengths and weaknesses. In essence, the parent is the child's first teacher.  Parent have the responsibility to ignite a student's desire to pursue their natural talents; Schools have the responsibility to teach both student and parent how to establish a foundation for lifelong learning. Parents hold the keys to a child's success or failure and hence a school's success or failure.

When parents  are immersed in the culture of lifelong learning high performing students and high performing schools develop.  Here are some of our results:
