Empowering adults to help children thrive

Our Mission:
Creative Lives® affirms that every child is innately good, with a unique potential for learning, contribution, and fulfillment.

It is our mission and vision to help young people thrive — by advancing A Framework for Wise Education — Ellen Tadd’s pioneering approach to holistic human development.

Adults trained in the Framework approach are uniquely equipped to support children’s growth in cognitive skills, character, inner well-being, and physical health, while nurturing their relationships with others and with the natural world.
