Our Mission
Inspiring a love of lifelong learning
SILAS Education exists to promote learning in all facets, but primarily in STEM, Instruction, Leadership, Arts, and Servanthood—thus our acronym, SILAS. We partner with communities and career and classroom developers to enhance the skills and value of learning. We leverage the resources of the community to create synergy for a greater impact than each resource alone. Â
What We Value
SILAS works with community and civic leaders to create opportunities for learning and growth. We develop curriculum for classrooms and homeschoolers. We partner with educators to help fund dream projects. If it's about developing more learning for the community, we're interested in helping out.Â
STEM
STEM/STEAM education has built our past and will build our future.
Instruction
Instructional practices must be adaptable to the individual learner.
Arts
Beautification of our world touches the emotions and adds value, causing deeper learning and stronger community.
Leadership
The obligation of experience and expertise is to help develop those who come along behind us.
Servanthood
Our lives are not for our own gratification, but for the community and edification of others.
