Cumberland Academy Orientation Program

​

​The academy will be a center of transformation in our understanding of the Universe and our place in it, and a place for personal growth, learning and transformation.

​

It is founded on the principles of self-exploration and self-leadership, of discovering our purpose and direction, of creating together and applying our skills and knowledge for the betterment of ourselves, our communities and the world.

​

The Orientation program is the starting point for all of us, to find our path and our commitment. It leads to the status of 'Associate of Cumberland Academy' allowing entry into the many projects that we hope to develop together, as a community of teachers, builders and learners.
