Four Phases of Learning

The Four Phases of Learning represent approximate ages or time periods in a person's life that certain types of learning take place. This does not mean that all people will fit into the ages listed, quite the opposite is true! We firmly believe that all people, especially children, learn at a precise pace and order specifically for them and that no amount of pressure will bring about life-long education. The opposite is true, pressure leads to immediate results while the long-term effects of pressured learning disappear with time.
