Our homeschool offers children an Education for Life – imparting knowledge and skills so students can develop their character, personal leadership, work ethic, compassion, and values, and become thoughtful, confident, principled, and dynamic individuals in the world.

We follow an International Neohumanist Education curriculum.  The philosophy of Neohumanist education is based on extending the inherent love of human beings to all people, animals, plant life and the inanimate world. This outlook is ideally suited to the needs and changing vision of today’s society with its shift from a mechanistic worldview to one based on holistic and collective harmony. We aim to provide programs in which children will develop a universal outlook, free from all discrimination; they come to embrace all people as members of one human family, regardless of race, religion, colour, creed, or sex. Through such activities as gardening, nature studies and care for animals, a truly ecological consciousness guides them to protect and nourish their environment and realize their inter-relationship with nature. Cultivation of the arts and music are also encouraged and children are provided with a congenial environment in order to awaken these finer qualities.

Pringle House Eco School

Deliberate Detour participants delve into the ancient and the modern during their visit to Cusco. On any given day, they may visit a humble church built atop the Inca’s sacred Temple of the Sun, make chocolate from cacao seeds harvested in the Peruvian Amazon, create music with a traditional pan flute… and so much more. On optional Friday Field Trips, they travel farther afield, perhaps visiting the pre-Inca salt mines at Maras or the sprawling Urubamba market.

We combine immersive outings with quieter days at the hub space where participants play teambuilding games, relax in the reading nook, engage in a history talk with a local expert, and circle up to reflect on the day’s activities.

While participants learn, grow, and form connections, their parents are free to work in one of Cusco’s lovely cafes or co-working spaces. Or perhaps they embark on a guided architectural walk, organized by Deliberate Detour, or a pisco sour tasting, making connections and memories all their own.
