WELCOME
At Holon Learning Community, our mission is simple: nurture the whole child.
We believe that education should inspire curiosity, creativity, and innovation. Rather than focusing on conformity, we embrace individuality and celebrate the unique strengths of each learner.
Our approach is context-driven, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings and using the world as an important vehicle for learning. By nurturing each person as a unique and whole entity, we help our learners grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient, creating a community that is enriched by the diversity of its members.
Join us on this journey towards lifelong learning and fulfillment.
At Holon, we believe that:
- Curiosity is the starting point for learning.
- The world is our far reaching classroom.
- Learners belong in designing and applying their curriculum.
- Academic learning and skill mastery happen anywhere.
- Education should inspire a lifelong passion for learning.
is proud to be affiliated with
Holon has a partnership with Clonlara School located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. This affiliation allows students in grades nine (9) through 12 to be dually enrolled at Clonlara School.
Holon learners enjoy numerous advantages, including access to an international community of students from around the globe, participation in after-school clubs, and guidance from Clonlara student advisors.
Students have the freedom to steer their own learning and outline their courses through the Full Circle Learning portal. This platform serves as a tool for learners to plan, elaborate on, and showcase their educational journey. Clonlara will generate and provide records, transcripts, and diplomas for Holon students.
Upon graduation, students will receive diplomas from both Holon and Clonlara and will have the opportunity to participate in a graduation ceremony in Michigan, France, or Portugal.
A PARADIGM SHIFT
The world is changing fast, and Holon has a mission to stay ahead of the curve. Conventional methods of schooling are quickly becoming obsolete, and adaptation is critical if we are to prepare the next generations for a future unlike anything we have ever seen before.
We believe in embracing technology as a tool for learning and giving students the chance to learn and apply their knowledge in real-world situations. It's time to let go of prescribed curriculum in favor of self-knowledge, critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
By doing so, we can ensure that the next generation of learners is ready to take on whatever challenges come their way. Join us in exploring the exciting possibilities of the future of education.
We believe play is essential to unlocking creativity and opening our minds to new possibilities, no matter what stage of life we're in. So let's get curious, explore, and learn together!

MULTIDIMENSIONAL LEARNING
Learning is not confined to a classroom or textbook, but is integrated into every aspect of life.
Hi there, I’m Cian Sawyer and Holon is my Big Dream. I began my professional journey by attaining a degree and entering the field of Visual Communications. However, I soon found that this career path did not fulfill my desire to make a difference. An idea that had been lingering in the back of my mind for some time finally took hold – becoming a teacher. Change course to this new passion, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Education and quickly discovered a love for sharing the process of learning. This passion led me to a diverse range of teaching experiences, including pre-school, Sunday school, Doula work, and Lactation consulting. I also gained an even greater appreciation for learner-centered education while educating my own children at home.
As an autodidact, I immersed myself in researching progressive education models from around the world. I have attended several international conferences with education pioneers to develop my own philosophy. Influenced primarily by A.S. Neill's approach, I strive to create a balance between self-directed education and standardized expectations. I am an ardent advocate for educational reform and hope to see elements of progressive models implemented in systematic schooling.
