Mission

Middle way school's central mission is to integrate buddist wisdom and compassion with progressive education in academics and all other activities at the school. Mws is creating a new model of buddhist-based childhood education in collaboration with middle way education, the school's sister organization. The mws/mwe curriculum will be made available to other like minded educators and educational organizations around the globe on an open platform. Mws's aspiration is to grow kind human beings and to prepare students to confidently take their places in the modern world with qualities such as discerning wisdom, compassion, generosity and discipline. We strive to impart mws graduates with an experiential understanding of meditation and the basics of the buddhist view including impermanence, interdependence in tandem with a fundamental motivation of altruism.
