Dr. Marie Wilson – Educator
Dr. Marie Wilson is an exceptional educator. His acute intelligence, common sense and profound spirituality led him to create a system of education that develops the whole person – body, heart, mind and spirit. It enhances growth and freedom while putting the child at the centre of the whole educational enterprise.
To distinguish his method from the repressive system of education prevalent in society, he called his own method the “Whole-Child Education”. Child-centered instruction means using the child as the starting point for lesson plans and for developing curriculum. Within that is this notion of whole-child education, which means that we are not just looking at children to fill up with academic information. We see children as whole human beings who have academic needs, social-emotional needs, physical needs, as well as the need for the development of character. As we build a child-centered, whole-child program, we are trying to think about not just filling the mind, but filling the heart as well.
That’s why the importance to individual child and value integrated teaching is imparted through the curriculum at St. Anthony’s. He strongly insists that the character education is so critical and should be intertwined throughout St. Anthony’s experience. The whole-child concept is really about giving children many opportunities to shine and develop.
The Education at St. Anthony’s create a climate that ‘draws forth’ (education) the best in the child, that encourages the child’s complete and fullest self-expression, that assists young people in acquiring habits that will lead them to opt in favour of what is good, healthy, joyful and life-enhancing.
