At Mack we believe in individual genius and honoring children for their gifts — in all the ways they show up.

The magic in this cartoon is that it describes Mackintosh Academy perfectly. We don’t judge children by how they learn. We inspire children to discover how each one of them learns. We respect the wisdom and the joy of that unfolding process. And then we derive the great wonder of learning together who they are and what contributions they will make to their own life and the lives of others. There is no magic test for that. Giving them the roots allows
them to climb the proverbial tree whenever they are ready.
