At Concentric Learning Center, students will learn Purpose and Meaning for their lives.
We work very hard to make sure students learn Purpose: Who they are, What they want, and How to learn for the rest of their lives. Of course, their journey isn't complete at age 18, but they will have a clear direction finishing their teens and entering their twenties. And if they want to completely change direction, they will have great confidence in making that change with the tools they learned at Concentric.
We work very hard to make sure students learn Meaning: What the world is like currently, Why the world is like it is now, Gratitude for the world they are blessed to be in, Marketable Skills that make them employable in the current world, and the texts to participate in The Great Conversation.

Let's expand on each of these circles.
Love & Caring – At the heart of what we do.
Rigorous Academics – We offer exposure, opportunity, and support for the study of the Trivium & Quadrivium, AP & Dual Credit courses, and the original works of The Masters.
Foundational Academic Skills – ANY curriculum can be chosen and supported. Lower-level materials are available for students to follow the Hierarchy of Knowledge.
Marketable Skills & Passion Projects – The goal is for an 18 year-old to be fully employable at $50,000+ per year AND doing adult-level work in area of passion that fulfills them.
Play and Games – Curated materials develop Individuality, Creativity, Teamwork, and Learner-directed Study.

The next picture is not "upside down" - it is an illustration to emphasize that there is no hierarchy of what the student is working on. Working on Rigorous Academics is not “better” than working on Marketable Skills. Foundational Skills are not worse than Rigorous Academics, they are just a bit easier to understand. We do not expect a student to spend days in a row only Playing in the same way we would not encourage working 7 hours each day for weeks on only Foundational or Rigorous Academics.
Love & Caring – Personalized attention.
Play and Games – Curated materials discourage screen time and develops Individuality, Creativity, Teamwork, and Learner-directed Study.
Marketable Skills & Passion Projects – Goal is for 18 year-old to be fully employable AND doing adult-level work in area of passion. This gives student a choice to go to college for necessary professions.
Foundational Academic Skills – Student can use any curriculum to increase comfort with being in school. Teachers/Facilitators have curated elementary and middle school-level materials to increase familiarity of a subject before diving into high school and college-level aspects of the course.
Rigorous Academic Skills – Increases critical thinking and ability to read dense information. Student gains meaning and purpose in life pondering wisdom.
