There is a little piece of educational heaven on earth situated on seven and a half acres in pastoral Fairview, Tex. It is a place where children are encouraged to enjoy the fruits and vegetables harvested from organic gardens, learning from ancient wisdom, singing songs about virtues, nature and other cultures. It is a place where nature's harmonious relationships are used as concrete examples of abstract and otherwise difficult concepts. Math is taught in the same way the ancients created it; from nature. Heart genius is encouraged and the natural love of learning is nurtured without coercion, testing or bureaucracy. Children are accepted as they are and encouraged to explore their unique interests and strengths, while being assisted in creating their own places in the world.

Though it may sound too good to be true, this is how the students at The Robert Muller Center for Living Ethics (RMCLE) are educated. Children ranging in age from 3-13 are taught far beyond reading, writing and arithmetic. They are encouraged to express themselves and create from their hearts. They are guided through an exploration of all the basic educational concepts hand-in-hand with problem solving, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, world cultures, healthy foods and social responsibility. All of this is done in a loving environment where children are respected and nurtured.

RMCLE is located on seven and a half tranquil acres just north of Dallas. This unique learning center has been a part of the North Texas landscape for 20 years during which time its enlightened educational community has been dedicated to the stimulation and encouragement of every child's extraordinary spirits and strengths. The focus of RMCLE is to nurture the heart genius within each child while recognizing each individual has their own ways of experiencing the world. First and foremost, RMCLE staff is concerned with maintaining each unique child's love of learning.
