A Dabrowskian Positive Disintegration at Baywood
The alternative day school at Baywood Learning Center is temporarily closed for a couple weeks while we undergo a process of refinement, structural improvement and fine tuning. effective February 1, 2010
We will announce the re-opening date soon.

We will continue to offer enrichment classes during this transition, however our regular program will be not be operating, We are undergoing a Dabrowskian Positive Disintegration towards  raising our performance to Level 4 of the Dabrowski Theory, One of our goals is to raise public awareness of the needs of the gifted population: build an awareness  that these needs are under-served, that these needs should be served as much as those on the other side of the bell curve, that this population is vulnerable and has great potential.  When we complete this transition we will be able to begin this part of our work. On Dabrowski’s Level Four the personality begins to reach out to change society and impact the world.  Another purpose of this transition is to improve the overall execution of our educational program. I believe we do have the definitive model for gifted education, based on Learning Partnerships rather than the traditional hierarchal power-over structure, however our execution of this model will benefit from overall refinement and better execution on all levels.

We are undergoing Restructure and program improvement in preparation for a significant expansion of our services. We are hiring new staff, expanding enrichment class opportunities and overhauling administration functions and enrollment procedures and opportunities.

We will be offering an increased enrollment. Going from 20 students this last year to 32 students, from 2/3 mentors last year to 4-6 mentors. This will be the last year we offer part-time enrollment schedules for homeschoolers.
