Aramis Creative Learning Center

Mission Statement

Aramis Creative Learning Center is a non-profit organization, The Aramis Collective, built on the foundation of holistic and intuitive learning, where children’s emotional wellness is the driving force. We offer an alternative to the current educational system that fosters an environment of excitement and enthusiasm, where children look forward to learning. Through animal-centered classes and unique subject content, children will experience transformational learning. During their most valuable educational years, they will become grounded, intuitive, empowered, independent, and prepared for a life of limitless possibilities.

The Aramis Initiative

Many children born in the 21st century are innately tapped into a higher level of awareness. They are naturally gifted, and their depth of perception is far more in tune with the world around them than previous generations. This presents significant challenges for them to adapt to a fast-paced and stringent learning environment. Many of these children are hypersensitive to sound and light and become overstimulated easily. They have trouble focusing under pressure, their nervous system becomes overwhelmed, and they are unable to thrive in a traditional school. They are often labeled with Autism, Asperger’s, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and/or learning disabilities. This can create division between groups of children in school, where those labeled feel out of place. This can lead to negative behavioral traits, created by a lack of validation, where individuals don’t feel heard, understood, or safe being themselves.

Newer generations of children are dynamic, innovative, and often misunderstood. Some children are brilliant to the extent that there is a clear difference in their learning potential compared to that of their peers. These children frequently lack social cues and struggle with socialization. They are so in-tune with their analytic and logical mind that they have difficulty relating to what could be considered normal behavior for children their age. They become hyper-focused on one thought pattern at a time, and anything outside that scope of thought can be distracting to their learning process. These children thrive on routines and are put off by spontaneous or abrupt subject shifts.

While other children may be intuitive, they often thrive in creative activities. They frequently struggle with strict routines and prefer the flexibility to explore. Some children do not perform well in restrictive environments, such as small rooms with a large number of children present, under fluorescent lighting, and having to sit for extended periods. They have trouble paying attention, and their minds often wander. They struggle with lecture-style learning, memorization, and testing. Some children thrive most when they are outdoors, learning in nature. In an environment where they can move around and have the freedom to explore, with a more relaxed learning approach.

When children have an opportunity to learn in an environment where they can connect what they are learning to real-life skills, and they are provided the opportunities to follow their passions, they will be more excited to learn. Traditional schooling, comprised of a rigorous curriculum, standardized testing, and a one-size-fits-all approach to learning, no longer works for every child. To cater to the children of today’s world, alternative learning centers that practice a more holistic approach to education would be beneficial to countless families worldwide.

Aramis Creative Learning Centers’ (ACLC) goal is to foster a commitment to youth, promoting spiritual well-being and pro-social friendships, developing strong interpersonal skills, and reasserting a sense of hope. Our initiative is to provide an alternative, holistic space for children and youth to thrive by catering to their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Our philosophy is that animals are a catalyst for healing emotional and physical trauma. At ACLC, we strive to aid in healing through animal-centered learning, along with a project-based approach and a focus on health and wellness.

The Three pillars of Aramis learning

Project-Based Learning and Life Skills

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method that involves students working together to solve real-world problems. Students use problem-solving, decision-making, and investigative skills to design and construct hands-on solutions. When children tackle issues using real-life solutions, they can engage more deeply in the lesson. Projects will mimic real-world scenarios, encouraging students to apply their knowledge to solve authentic problems. You can incorporate PBL into any subject.

Animal-Centered Learning

Aramis will provide an environment where children can interact with a variety of animals. The human-animal bond is sacred, and we encourage children to interact with, care for, and learn from animals as part of their educational experience. Our center will offer animal-centered classes in husbandry, animal science, animal therapy, and animal communication, featuring a diverse range of animals, including horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, and cows.

Health and Wellness

Our first campus will include a state-of-the-art Health and Wellness Center. Aramis has a passion for health and wellness. We take pride in guiding children toward the future of holistic healing.

Aramis Creative Learning Center Philosophy

We believe children should be free to learn in an environment of imagination, creativity, and excitement. Our centers will offer a unique approach to holistic learning for children aged 5 to 18. We strive to inspire children to tap into their innate potential by providing classes that foster spiritual, emotional, and intellectual growth. We believe that children are the future, and we must invest in their development at a young age, catering to their individual learning styles, interests, and stages of development. We do not believe that one learning style is suitable for all children. The one-size-fits-all educational approach creates unhealthy dynamics, which can be the root cause of depression, anxiety, and lack of self-confidence. Our centers offer a variety of classes with an equal partnership between the child and their mentors. The courses are structured upon foundational life skills that will adequately prepare them for different stages of their life. There are no grade levels at Aramis. We prefer to incorporate developmental groups of children with similar learning styles, maturation, and interests. Placing children of varying ages together allows older children to inspire and guide the younger ones, and in turn, encourages children at different stages of development to collaborate and work together.

When a child has reached a point where they are ready to learn beyond the parameters of their developmental group, they will progress to the next developmental stage. There is no formal grade system, nor is there a pass/fail system. The children move up in developmental groups when the mentor, parent, and child agree they are ready. This creates an environment of relaxed learning with no stress on the children. They are free to learn at their own pace. They will be introduced to intuitive learning through classes on mindfulness, collaboration, art, music, math, science, reading, and writing, as well as through avenues of creativity and real-life relatability. Children become inspired when they can relate to what they are learning. Our learning centers will cultivate an environment of excitement and enthusiasm where children look forward to learning.

Our mission is to offer a transformative educational experience, with a holistic, intuitive-based learning style in an environment where children are the priority. They will learn valuable life skills that will prepare them for their future. They will learn from mentors who are passionate about children, allowing them to learn through creativity, self-expression, independence, collaboration, and mutual respect between the mentor and child. Children will be free to work with their mentors on how they want to learn and what works for them. Our centers understand that children are unique and should be celebrated and honored for their differences. Throughout the various stages of learning development, we will strive to support our students individually. We will not use labels in our centers, such as ADHD and Autism. Children will be honored for who they organically are. There will be no labels, judgments, or hierarchies of students. If there are children who need more guidance or special attention, they will be catered to on an individual basis. We will provide the resources of integrative and spiritual counselors, special needs mentors, and Intuitive coaches.
