Cohannet Hill is dedicated to promoting a model of learning defined by three characteristics:

Whole-Life Learning
Our unique and innovative multi-dimensional curriculum addresses the development of the whole learner, creating opportunities to learn invaluable lessons not emphasized in schools and not measured by any standardized test.
The dimensions of the Cohannet Hill curriculum correspond to recognizable dimensions of life. In one dimension, we progress from immaturity to independence and then on to successful and productive interaction with a world of others. In another, we seek to satisfy our needs and desires in a balanced way. Finally, there are the dimensions of physical and intellectual development.
The material in Cohannet Hill’s curriculum has been gathered from many sources spanning the centuries. Some of it has been around since ancient times – truly “wisdom of the ages.” Some is newer, but no less proven. We at Cohannet Hill have collected and organized the material within our curriculum to maximize its effectiveness.
Meaningful Learning

The dimensions of our curriculum overlap and interact in meaningful ways. A lesson in the “Intellectual Development” dimension debates the merits of multi-tasking, within the context of understanding how long-term and short-term memory work together in the thinking process. That lesson is explicitly connected to a lesson on the same topic in the “Personal Growth” dimension, the significance of which (i.e., effective time management) is entirely different, despite its similar content, due to the different contexts of the two dimensions.
This richness in context and connection helps learners to understand how each topic fits together with other topics and why each one matters. A thorough integration of learning with daily life answers the familiar (and entirely reasonable) challenge, “Who cares? Why should I have to learn this?”

Ongoing Learning
We continue to grow our curriculum and develop new programs through a process of ongoing evaluation and improvement. Using methods based on modern research in cognitive science, we produce highly effective and entertaining lessons that serve to instill a lifelong passion for learning and for the learning process in learners young and old from all walks of life.
