Join us in celebrating 40 years of lifelong learning!
For four decades, we’ve been making a difference in the lives of thousands of families
Here at SelfDesign Learning Foundation, our 40-year journey has been a testament to the transformative power of education and community.
In 2024, we celebrated the threads that have woven our philosophy into the very fabric of our organization. We celebrated our dedicated contractors, volunteers, board members, educators, learners, and families, who have all embraced lifelong, personalized learning as a way of life. We also honoured our invaluable partners and the passionate individuals we collaborate with daily, each contributing to our shared mission.
At the heart of our foundation is a deep respect for Indigenous ways of being, seeing, and knowing, which have enriched our educational programs and offerings. We stand firmly in our commitment to inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility, ensuring that education knows no boundaries.
As we commemorate four inspiring decades, we invite you to immerse yourself in inspirational stories and participate in our celebratory activities.
