The Integrated Farm
The outcome of our refined farming skills and comprehensive agricultural knowledge is the integration of subjects, providing a holistic understanding through the lens of interconnectedness and interdependencies within the universe. This closely aligns with Maria Montessori's vision for adolescent education.
Museum of Machines
The Farm features a collection of tools and machinery showcasing their evolution over time. Aptly sized for adolescents to disassemble, reassemble, utilize, and repair, these machines spark philosophical contemplation on the augmentation of human abilities beyond natural limitations.

Art serves as a means for adolescents to unwind, de-stress, and connect with their inner selves.
