Holistic education is a philosophy of education based on the premise that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through connections to the community, to the natural world, and to humanitarian values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a passionate love of learning.

Holism is the idea that all the properties of a given system in any field of study cannot be determined or explained by the sum of its component parts. Instead, the system as a whole determines how its parts behave. A holistic way of thinking tries to encompass and integrate multiple layers of meaning and experience rather than defining human possibilities narrowly.

Therefore, teaching students to reflect critically on how we come to know or understand information is essential.
-
we ask students to develop critical and reflective thinking skills and encourage them to care about the world around them they may decide that some degree of personal or social transformation is required.

Holism sees the various aspects of life and living as integrated and connected, therefore, education should not isolate learning into several different components.

Teacher’s Role
-
In considering curriculum using a holistic approach, one must address the question of what children need to learn.
-
First, children need to learn about themselves. This involves learning self respect and self esteem.
-
Second, children need to learn about relationships. In learning about their relationships with others, there is a focus on social “literacy” (learning to see social influence) and emotional “literacy” (one’s own self in relation to others).
-
Third, children need to learn about resilience. This entails overcoming difficulties, facing challenges and learning how to ensure long-term success.
-
Fourth, children need to learn about aesthetics – This encourages the student to see the beauty of what is around them and learn to have awe in life.

-
Fourth, holistic education feels that meaningfulness is also an important factor in the learning process. People learn better when what is being learned is important to them.
-
In holistic education, the teacher is seen less as person of authority who leads and controls but rather is seen as “a friend, a mentor, a facilitator, or an experienced traveling companion”
-
Thus, many schools incorporating holistic beliefs do not give grades or rewards.
