Ever Land StarShine Lyceum
StarShine Academy is an academic school accredited and recognized by the highest standards from AdvancED National and International Accreditation and ASHOKA, one of only 200 world "changing" schools. Ever Land will partner with StarShine Academy founder, Trish McCarty, to provide services for students completing their high school education, home-school students, and an ‘educational gymnasium’ following Aristotle’s wisdom – the Lyceum.
All programs at Ever Land begin with an educational foundation. Services are not dependent upon enrollment in programs. Those who are inspired by our integrative vision will stay on and have the opportunity to enroll in classes and a variety of educational programs available to the general public as well. Options for residential and non-residential programs will be offered.
Three Year Vocational Educational Program
The ultimate educational program offered to youth is a three year vocational training program. The first year will be spent discovering what inspires and moves the student by exploring a variety of educational opportunities, classes, practices, and media. Students engage in personal development programs, learn business skills, event production, nutrition and cooking skills, new science technology, and multi-media production. Each student will work with mentors in each field and discover their own heart’s purpose.
The second year will enroll students in a mentoring program that is designed to expand their purpose and skills. They will be assigned to a specific mentor in their chosen field of service and also mentor first year students who are beginning the program. Second year students will learn to lead classes, teach and mentor others, and be given roles of responsibility at EverLand while expanding their own gift & talent.
Year three will find the now trained student travelling to an offsite location for ecovillage and community development service, similar to the Peace Corps.
HomeSchool Services
Programs at Ever Land will support and provide additional learning opportunities to students who learn at home such as science/technology, media arts, culinary arts, healing arts, and more. Students and their families will have opportunity to fulfill community service hours and engage with mentors. Symposiums and workshops will offer training for parents who are educating their children at home. Curriculum Fairs and other supportive Home-Schooling activities will be offered.
Professional Education Services
Seminars, Workshops, Retreats, and Symposiums provide for continuing education for teachers, health care workers, and other professionals with appropriate CEUs offered. This one of a kind experience will take the programs and visions of Ever Land to other locations while providing a perspective of how each professional field can support youth in a new way.
Mentors Mentoring Mentors
Mentors are key at Ever Land. Relationships between mentors open all doors for co-creating together. We see three levels of Mentoring: Youth mentoring Youth… Elders mentoring Youth… Youth mentoring Elders. With these three levels of mentoring, relationships of respect will build between new youth entering programs and the youth already enrolled, elders supporting youth with wisdom, and youth supporting elders with wisdom. Each participant at Ever Land has wisdom that others will grow with, no matter their age and experience. Just as youth can learn from elders who have lived on earth a while… so too, elders can learn from youth who have new ideas and ways. Then the youth mentoring youth brings another generation into harmony. Kids love having someone close to their own age teaching or guiding… and having those teachers be mentored will support inter-generational communication.
