The 11 dimensions of conscious education

At Terra Conscious School we conceive education as the natural process that enables the organic development of each child's innate intelligence, happiness and creativity. With the intention of unleashing the full potential that resides in every human seed, our methodology is composed of eleven pillars, which take into account all the dimensions of the human being, as well as the main areas in which his or her existence develops. These are eleven types of education that we consider fundamental for students to learn to co-create a full and meaningful life.

The first three dimensions (spiritual, corporal and emotional) are inward-looking; they focus on the student's self-knowledge, so that he learns to take care of his body, cultivate his mind and connect with his spirit. The other eight dimensions (social, communicative, artistic, scientific, entrepreneurial, financial, technological and ecological) are outward; they focus on the student's ability to relate to others, society, the planet and, ultimately, to existence.

1.Spiritual dimension.

The development of the secular spiritual dimension inspires students to reconnect with their true essence, learn to be happy on their own, enjoy freedom of thought and discover their authentic purpose in life, so that they can enjoy a transcendent and meaningful life.

2. Body dimension.

The development of the corporal dimension enables the student to learn to listen to and attend to the needs of his body (nutrition, physical exercise, rest and sexuality), so that he enjoys an optimal state of health, energy and vitality, knowing how to be intimate and connect with other human beings.

3. Emotional dimension.

The development of the emotional dimension encourages the student to know, manage and regulate their own emotions, feelings and moods, learning to maintain a respectful and loving internal dialogue, as well as to relate to their external circumstances in a wise and peaceful way.

4. Social dimension.

The development of the social dimension promotes that the student has an altruistic, collaborative, civic and cooperative spirit, so that he/she knows how to relate to his/her family and social environment through values and ethical principles and at the service of the common good.

5. Communicative dimension.

The development of the communicative dimension enables students to express their ideas in different languages and through different channels (oral, written, visual...), developing their personal brand in an integral and authentic way, so that they know how to relate with authenticity, empathy and assertiveness.

6. Artistic dimension.

The development of the artistic dimension allows students to explore and practice different arts, so that they develop their imagination, creativity and self-esteem -learning to believe in themselves-, discovering their interests, gifts, passions, skills, abilities and innate talents.

7. Scientific dimension.

The development of the scientific dimension encourages the student's curiosity, research, experimentation and analysis, so that he can ask himself questions (or hypotheses) and commit himself to answering them based on his own empirical conclusions.

8. Entrepreneurial dimension.

The development of the entrepreneurial dimension encourages students to relate to the labor market in a responsible and proactive way, having the courage and initiative necessary to lead a useful professional project, which brings a lot of value and contributes to improving the world.

9. Financial dimension.

The development of the financial dimension enables the student to manage and invest money with conscience and integrity, obtaining economic income as a result of generating wealth for society without the need for intermediaries, thus being able to conquer their financial freedom.

10. Technological dimension.

The development of the technological dimension enables the student to know how to adapt and prosper in the emerging digital era (social networks, smart phones, virtual reality, robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain...), using with maturity the different technological tools available.

11. Ecological dimension.

The development of the ecological dimension encourages students to love and respect nature -and all living beings that are part of it- through observation and direct care of the natural environment, so that their existence leaves the smallest possible ecological footprint.

As a result of having cultivated the 11 dimensions of conscious education, at the age of 18 all our students have a "conscious attitude". That is to say, a certain mentality towards life that allows them to solve by themselves their own existential problems and conflicts related to these eleven areas of their existence. It should be noted that this pedagogical methodology has been co-designed by the children, who were simply asked how they would like their day-to-day life at school to be.
