About Us
At Each One Teach One, we subscribe to the belief that the WHOLE child must be cultivated…Mind, Body and Spirit. Not only are we teaching academic content, performing arts, critical thinking and problem solving; we are equally invested in the maintenance of strong healthy bodies, and the cultivation of inner peace, clarity and gentle character. This is why we provide and support Multiple Intelligence Development, Balanced wholistic Lifestyles, Natural Movement & Yoga for exercise, and traditional family Values.
