"For seven years I jumped, I ran, I covered the paths of the Champs de Mars.
"I felt sure that nothing was
unfriendly, that the branches that I used to swing from would hold firm,
and that the paths, no matter how winding, would take me to a place
where I would not be afraid; that all paths, eventually, would lead me
back to my family."
"Being in tune with the rhythm of development brings so much peace. It
brings such a positive momentum toward anticipated change, without
compulsion or manipulation.
"Abby already sees her life as a process, and
her own development as something to anticipate with a contented
acceptance that she will progress in a natural timeline. And she trusts
that everyone around her is pleased with who she is right now, even as
we know her to be a dynamically evolving being."

What is TJEd?

Every person has inner genius. Thomas
Jefferson Education consists of
helping each student discover, develop and polish his or her genius.
This is the essence and very definition of great education.
There are really only three kinds of
education, and they are best
understood from the student's perspective. Students get a good education
for one of three reasons:
- they are forced to study long, hard and effectively (the "Stick")
- they are convinced or manipulated to study long, hard and effectively (the "Carrot")
- they love to study long, hard and effectively (the "Love Affair")
If the first two are "good," the latter is truly "great."
The Stick, the Carrot, or the Love Affair: these are the three types
of education; and the love affair is by far the most effective.
