LECTURE: The History of Education -- and What Our Children Need Now!

Many parents are wondering if the traditional school model still makes sense— especially in a world of constant screens and fast-changing technology. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this really the best way for my child to learn and grow?” you’re not alone.

On Wednesday, January 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM, we invite you to an engaging talk: “The History of Education — And What Our Children Need Now.” We’ll explore how earlier cultures approached learning, why so much of modern education feels out of step with childhood, and how more play, freedom, and hands-on discovery can better teach competence and responsibility, and prepare children for the future—even in the age of AI.

Come learn, ask questions, and imagine what school could look like for your family.
