Today, on World #Braille Day, we honor a language of dots that has opened worlds of knowledge and opportunity. Braille is not just a code; it's a bridge to independence, education, and empowerment for millions of individuals with visual impairments globally. As aspiring educators and advocates for inclusive learning, let's recognize the profound impact of Braille. Invented by Louis Braille in the 19th century, this system of raised dots has broken barriers, enabling access to literature, science, mathematics, and so much more. Today, we at #Tomorrowsmith Foundation, invite you to embrace the philosophy of inclusive education. Let's create learning spaces that welcome all, where every student, regardless of their abilities, finds the tools and support to reach their full potential. Here's to the brilliance of Braille and the boundless potential it unlocks. #WorldBrailleDay #InclusiveEducation

What's a good school, in your opinion? Here's our take. A place where learning closely meets individual values; A warm community where we forgive and repair relationships if broken; A place where any mistake is just a new lesson added to a long string of experiences; A place where only time travel is impossible - at least until we find out it isn't; A place where diversity doesn't divide us but unites us; A place where each of us can be unique, where we are all authentic in being different; A place where we learn not only formulas or facts but many interesting things about the world around us and how we can live a happy and fulfilling life. In the following days, we will take you on a virtual journey and show you what a day in the life of a student at Transylvania College looks like. Until then, what makes a good school for your children? 😊
