In Other Woods - Paperback

by Mary-Ann Ridgway (Author)

Education has an essential role to play in transforming society

In Other Woods emerges from over two decades of experience in developing an independent school that actively held at the forefront the essential question "what constitutes right education?".

Shedding conventional and institutional approaches, this endeavour embraced the urgent challenge of seeking a new paradigm for nurturing sane young minds and responsible, caring adults - a task that is increasingly relevant today with the growing malaise of the new generations.

Distilled here are some of the author's observations, reflections, challenges and insights gained from her pivotal role in this educational journey; no indulgence in theory, no attempt to provide final answers, but rather a refreshing selection of raw material to invite a deeper inquiry into an issue vital for all of us.
