About Us
Most of us entered adulthood lacking key life skills, including effective communication, conflict resolution, financial literacy, emotional regulation, leadership, and project management. If we were self-aware, these deficiencies became apparent to us during crises in finance, relationships, and health, causing us to invest the time and money to learn these skills later in life. For those of us who weren’t so self-aware, we would tend to blame our crises on others.
Our students at Coherence Education are preparing for adulthood in an entirely different way, learning the self-awareness, how to connect to their unique creative genius, and learning key skills for creating joyful and productive lives now and in the future.
Imagine how your life would have been different if you had learned the most important stuff when you were a kid. Where would you be today with regards to your health, wealth, career, creative life, and relationships?
Now… imagine such a future for your own child – and let’s get started helping them live their best lives now.
Foundational Principals
The Core Tenets of Coherence Education Philosophy
Meet the Team
Andrew Freeman
Founder
As a kid Andrew had a hard time focusing and his parents put him on Ritalin. While that only put him into a fog, what did help him was when his father introduced him to meditation at the age of 14.
Not only was Andrew able to get off medication, he received a full basketball scholarship to college, won a state tennis championship and got a MBA from Northwestern.
After a successful career in tech, Andrew realized that it wasn’t his career or academia that brought him the most joy but rather the extensive personal transformational education he sought later in life that reconnected him to his creative spark.
So when his child began to lose her love for learning from traditional schooling, he felt compelled to help transform education by bringing masters in personal development to kids.
Why should kids wait until they are adults to learn the things that contribute most to them having a happy, successful and meaningful life?
