Innésence
is a school where parents can realize their hopes for
their children, rather than their fears.“Unprecedented
change and invention can tear at the family foundation
and community values, unless education places what
children learn academically within the larger context of
community values”, says Finn Clark-Brown, principal
and founder of the new school.According to
Clark-Brown, Innesence School provides an education where
children face the future with a curriculum of certainty
based on intellectual, character, performance and
spiritual development.The name
“Innesence” is a playful, yet serious play on
four phrases that reflect the school’s approach to
learning.
Innesence
School is a new small K-12 private school in Pojoaque
Valley for the children of working and professional
parents.It is ideally situated in the spacious,
newly renovated rooms of the historic hacienda on six
tree-lined acres of Rocking Horse Ranch.The
buildings and grounds allow for a full day of learning
activities of indoor and outdoor programs for students,
and include a heated swimming pool, lawns and two 2-acre
fields for soccer, archery, volleyball, tennis, and other
ball, racquet and field sports.
The
principal of the school has wide experience of writing
school curricula and leading school programs in Transkei,
South Africa and London, United Kingdom.With
experience as principal and teacher from kindergarten to
college, he was awarded an educational fellowship based
at the world-class university of Oxford in England, to
study spirituality and the educational curriculum.The
implementation of holistic curricula in Africa and Europe
caused the public school superintendent I.Z. Tsingiwe to
write:“His dedication to the teaching
profession has made him wanted in every corner of the
world.His academic competence has made him liked
by every member of his teaching staff, including the
community members”.His school committee
and trustees of the schools he founded wrote:“The
flexibility and humility he has shown in his achievements
has won him respect extending beyond this district.”
The
school provides a full day that includes academic and
character development, with an emphasis on performance
and reflective self-assessment.In addition to
their grade level work, children each learn to play a
musical instrument, participate in creative and
performing arts, and learn a range of indoor and outdoor
games, as well as the social responsibility of cross-peer
tutoring.Fees have been kept at $600 per month for
an integrated program that starts before mom and dad need
to be at work, and continues until the time children can
be collected after work.The parent-teacher
association of the principal’s previous private
school commended him:“We have come to
appreciate your accessibility, thoughtfulness and caring
attitude in how you have addressed the challenges as Head
of the School.It must be gratifying to experience
how the children hold you in such high esteem.It
is a pleasure as parents to witness their genuine
fondness of you.”
