ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
The Matripa Tara School Mission is to support and develop the good heart and the potential of all beings, while sharing in a community of care, love, and respect. Founded on the three pillars of wisdom, compassion, and ethics, the school curriculum combines a Tibetan Buddhist worldview, Dr. Maria Montessori’s pedagogical method, and a permaculture approach to care for and connect to the natural world and to oneself and one another, relying on diversity, stability, and resilience.
Maitripa Tara School was founded to bring a unique frame to modern education, to invite children and families to become part of a learning community, and to support them in preparation for life. Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as embodied by the Dalai Lama, an education at Maitripa Tara School focuses on the development of a good heart at its core.
Maitripa Tara School is staffed by dedicated, accomplished, and experienced educational professionals. All guides and assistants are AMI Trained together encompassing more than 50 years of experience.
