Learning Beyond: "What if your child discovered and developed their unique genius?" -Expanse, an online school
The purpose of Explorers Foundation is to build a world fit for explorers and to learn to fit ourselves to live in such a world. We call such a world, Freeorder, and the discovery processes that lie at its venturesome heart, freeorder.
Michael Strong, his students, teachers, mentors, families, and investors are creating a school, Expanse (online), guided by principles leading to the emergence of freeorder within each of us and among all of us.
Expanse's principles are:
1. Respecting the universal humanity and dignity of all
I am a human being: and nothing pertaining to humanity is foreign to me. - Terence
2. Personal empowerment, agency, and responsibility
Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life — is the source from which self-respect springs. - Joan Didion
3. The obligation to support our beliefs through reason and evidence
The authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual human being. - Galileo Galilei
4. The spirit of enterprise, taking initiative to achieve
Criticize by creating. - Michelangelo
5. Voluntary, mutually beneficial, win-win solutions whenever possible
Our world suffers because we have not allowed entrepreneurial initiative to fully address the most important issues facing humanity. - Michael Strong
