ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE STELLE GROUP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 

 

We are pleased to announce the opening of The Stelle School, grades 1 through 8, on September 5, 1968 at The Lemuria Builders Clubhouse, 3410 W. Montrose, Chicago, Illinois. This decision is in answer to serious concern on the part of members of The Stelle Group and The Lemuria Builders who feel the urgency of providing a stimulating yet peaceful learning atmosphere for our children.

 

The basic purpose of the school is to train each child to control his own environ­ment and to help him develop the tools for Egoic advancement. Aggressive behavior engendered by most of today’s highly competitive school situations will be diminished. Our feeling is that children need to develop a sense of the intrinsic joy of learning and an understanding and love of his fellow man.

 

To achieve this, the school will encourage self-direction and individual interest. Emphasis will be placed on realization of intelligent citizenship and moral re­sponsibility as well as physical development and social awareness. Class size will not exceed 20 pupils per teacher so as to insure sufficient individual atten­tion. The students will be guided to initiate and complete projects of personal interest which they will share with the class as a whole. Inasmuch as one clari­fies his thinking in the process of teaching another, children will be encouraged to help each other and be allowed to discover the joy of teaching. The teacher will serve as a catalyst who functions as a guide and resource person. Discussion of religious and philosophical issues and prayer will be dealt with appropriately in an open manner when it arises.

 

In summary, the school is designed to accomplish what parents want from a grade school—happy, well-adjusted boys and girls trained in fundamental skills and able to seek and find answers. These qualities prepare them to meet the challenges of adolescence and adult life.

 

The experienced, qualified teacher is a member of The Stelle Group, and special assistants will be brought in by the teacher as needed. It is expected that mu­tually supportive parent-teacher relationships will also be cultivated.

 

In keeping with the tenor of the Plan of the Brotherhoods for helping all Mankind to advance, The Stelle School is open to children of the members of The Stelle Group and The Lemuria Builders as well as those of anyone who is in sympathy with the principles of THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER.

 

A tentative rate of $12.50 per week per child has been set as the maximum tuition charge. In order to substantially lower this rate, we are soliciting regular con­tributions from members and interested friends. We believe that persons who perceive the value of the Work of the Brotherhoods will recognize the importance of The Stelle School and will want to contribute to this first major project of The Stelle Group.
