- [What We Do](https://old.satorischool.org/our-schools/private-school/what-we-do/): What We Do Satori is one of a handful of schools nationwide that actively applies Dr. Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner identifies eight ways we learn: * verbal/linguistic * bodily/kinesthetic * logical/mathematical * intrapersonal * visual/spatial * interpersonal * musical * naturalist Each of us has a unique combination of these intelligences. How we use them determines how we learn. Traditional education teaches through verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical abilities. Satori teaches through all the intelligences. At Satori, teachers assess each student’s strengths and monitor learning through the eight intelligences. Children, not textbooks, guide the curriculum. Teachers present content in a … Continue reading →
