Qualifications

With the Meristem Method, students progress through our program and repeatedly immerse themselves in experiences. They are encouraged to reflect about those experiences. This objective process allows students to gain insight into the impact of their actions, a simple but effective model that has been shown to unlock potential and build a solid foundation for subsequent growth. Their growth is tracked through their Individual Support Plan (ISP), and their goals are adjusted in response to their progress.
