  1. The southern highlands association for Steiner education (shase) was formed to cultivate, nourish, and promote Steiner education in the southern highlands. The Association is established for the object of operating a Rudolf Steiner co-educational Primary school for children, irrespective of their social, religious, or cultural background, which: provides a living, inspired learning environment, which strives to foster the qualities of goodness, beauty, and truth through the research and implementation of the principles in the educational approach of Rudolf Steiner develops progressive social and cultural forms through nourishing the physical, soul, and spiritual aspects of the community life of the school strives for a respectful, safe, and loving environment between all who work and learn at the school. As one of over 1000 Steiner/Waldorf schools throughout the world, Aurora is a small school offering a big-hearted education full of nourishment for the whole child. Our approach, inspired by the indications of Dr. Rudolf Steiner, actively engages the senses with real-life experience, learning through the head, heart, and hands. We are a school that upholds respect and reverence for the natural world. We celebrate the Australian seasons, grow food in our garden, and explore our local area's beauty. We are a school of spirit, welcoming families into our community with open arms and open hearts. We value kindness and compassion, and we seek to create an environment that fosters healthy social relationships. An education at Aurora builds a strong academic foundation. We provide a rich, engaging environment where students learn concepts and skills at a developmentally appropriate time. The attributes of curiosity, creativity, and capacity are nurtured, ensuring our children are equipped for today's world as morally responsible global citizens. Aurora offers an integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum for Primary school. Our academically rigorous curriculum is integrated with creative arts and personal development. This means academic subjects are presented imaginatively to engage the students' whole-hearted participation: physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Each lesson incorporates movement, supported by music, poetry, visual arts, traditional writing, reading, and mathematics skills. Your child will learn literacy, mathematics, music, speech and drama, languages, physical education, visual arts, eurythmy, artisan handicraft, and social and emotional skills in any week. The class teacher is a trained Steiner teacher as well as a State qualified teacher. A deep and caring relationship and understanding are fostered between the child, the teacher, and the class as a whole. The teacher brings each part of the curriculum at the right stage in the children's development to meet and satisfy their inner needs. The teacher's task is to bring the child all the subjects in a living way, involving the whole child in the learning process. The educational aim is to stimulate students' curiosity, imagination, and interest in the world to foster a balanced feeling for life, to develop a sense of morality, service, and strength of will. This encourages each child to grow in confidence, imagination, and initiative. Each day begins with the Main Lesson, a two-hour period when a core subject is taught, experienced, and worked with for a block of time, usually three to four weeks. Our Kindergarten lays the foundations for learning and life. In an atmosphere of love and warmth, children are encouraged to learn through a sense of wonder, imagination, and exploration. The Kindergarten day is purposefully based around a natural rhythm, including free play, structured activities such as arts, crafts, food preparation, ring-time and story-time, and outside time to climb, run, and experience the changing season's elements. With its kitchen garden and space to run and climb in our country campus, your child's school day is filled with play and adventure. Children engage in real-life experiences, learning through active involvement. They climb trees, go for bushwalks, bake bread, grow and cook vegetables, play instruments, dance, make crafts, organize festivals – all as part of their day's learning. Aurora caters to Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten aged children in a combined class. This 'family' group of mixed age allows older children to care for and lead the younger children and allows them to engage socially with older children and learn with them. View full school
  2. At Aurora University, we are an inclusive community dedicated to the transformative power of learning. We combine a wide range of programs expected at a university with a small college's attention. Our award-winning faculty members are accessible, our partnerships with the community provide hands-on opportunities and internships, and our academic and support programs are designed to help you succeed. Aurora University is an inclusive community dedicated to the transformative power of learning. Aurora University traces its origins to the 1893 founding of a seminary in the small town of Mendota, Illinois. Though established initially to prepare graduates for ministry, the institution soon adopted a broader mission. It moved to a new campus on the western edge of the nearby community of Aurora. With this change came a different name, Aurora College, and a growing enrollment. When World War II ended, the campus population swelled again as veterans enrolled in the college's innovative evening degree program. The 1970s and 1980s saw an expansion of curricular offerings in several professional fields and awarding advanced degrees in selected disciplines. These changes culminated in the 1985 decision to rechristen the institution Aurora University. Today, Aurora University operates two primary campuses: a campus of 37 acres in Aurora, Illinois, and the 137.5-acre George Williams College on Geneva Lake in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Aurora University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission to award degrees at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral levels. The institution enrolls approximately 5,500 degree-seeking students a year on its campuses. Classes are also offered at the Orchard Center in Aurora, Illinois, and the Woodstock Center in Woodstock, Illinois. On the Aurora campus, AU offers academic programs through the College of Arts and Sciences, the Dunham School of Business and Public Policy, the School of Education and Human Performance, the School of Nursing and Allied Health, and the School of Social Work. Undergraduate students participate in a wide range of on- and off-campus learning experiences. Students participate in more than 50 musical, literary, religious, social, and service organizations and play active campus governance roles. The university also fields 24 NCAA Division III, intercollegiate athletic teams. At AU, we believe that our students' educational needs are served best through the formation of strategic partnerships with institutions of like vision, mission, and values. For example, our innovative collaborations with area corporate, civic, nonprofit, business and education partners fostered the launch of the John C. Dunham STEM Partnership School, which serves elementary and middle school students from area school districts and is staffed via a unique professional model. Aurora University draws upon the rich legacies and distinctive traditions of Aurora College and George Williams College. This history has helped shape Aurora University, which will continue to build upon its important past to help shape the future. Aurora University's leadership oversees the university's strategic vision, ensuring that students always come first and that our mission – an inclusive community dedicated to the transformative power of education – is prevalent in all we do. The Office of Institutional Research provides data, information, and analysis to the AU community to support university planning and decision making. We also provide the university's annual responses to the Common Data Set, a collaborative effort of The College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report to publish standard information about colleges and universities. The Office of University Communications manages outreach to the broader world, including public relations, publications, and digital communications. Our thriving student population and expanding academic programs require us to set long-term plans for our main campus's physical growth and evolution in Aurora. Our current master plan outlines future expansion areas, envisions new buildings, and addresses parking needs. The Hill Welcome Center will provide distinguished gathering spaces for campus and community functions. Within the center is the Ethel Tapper Recital Hall, offering intimate performance space for up to 80 guests, and the Schingoethe Museum, which celebrates Native American culture. The museum's art gallery will showcase professional and student artists during several exhibitions throughout the year. The 20,000 square-foot building is the latest addition to the AU campus, and it will be dedicated later in 2015. Aurora University reported the following enrollment figures to the National Center for Education Statistics with its submission of IPEDS reports (Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System) as required by the U.S. Department of Education. The full-time equivalency (FTE) figures act as the basis for on-campus parking requirements as determined by a City of Aurora formula outlined in the master plan. The roots of George Williams College run deep in the YMCA movement of the 19th century. In 1884, leaders from America's "western" YMCAs gathered on the shores of Geneva Lake in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, to attend a summer training program. Two years later, the camp was incorporated, and the first parcel of the current Williams Bay campus was purchased. Since that time, "college camp" has been a source of inspiration, recreation, education, and renewal for thousands of guests and students. In 1992, Aurora University and George Williams College traditions blended when the two institutions entered into an affiliation agreement that paved the way for a merger eight years later.

  3. The State College shall primarily provide technical and professional training in the sciences, arts, teacher education, agriculture, engineering, technology, and short-term vocational courses. It shall likewise promote research, advanced studies, and academic leadership in the stated areas of specialization. ASCOT was officially established on December 30, 1993, according to Republic Act No. 7664. Aurora's son, Senator Edgardo J. Angara, and the late Congressman Benedicto G. Miran sponsored the bills that eventually became law, bringing much hope for a brighter future to the people of the Province. The CollegeCollege opened its first year of classes on June 6, 1994, with an initial enrollment of 300 students. Although relatively young, the CollegeCollege has undertaken concrete steps to vigorously pursue its program along with its trilogy of functions – instruction, research, and extension. The CollegeCollege continuously endeavors to maximize the utilization of the available resources to become a center of academic excellence and a bastion of technology in the Province. The Research and Development Office of the Aurora State College of Technology is mandated to coordinate research and development programs and activities. Although beset by inadequate funds and support staff, still this office had managed to do worthwhile activities. In implementing Extension Services, which is one of the thrusts of the CollegeCollege, the department had undertaken activities helping the people around the school community. Several faculty members and students participated in the College Campaign Program in different secondary schools in nearby towns. It also catered to environmental awareness and conservation as it spearheaded Adopt-A-Barangay Programs and Operation Linis along Sabang Bay and Quezon Park. The Office of the Student Affairs provides avenues for student welfare and development, guides students become well adjusted to their college life, motivates students to exercise their rights by the applicable laws, widens opportunities of the students for social consciousness, responsibilities, and transformation, encourages the broader and active participation of the students to various student affairs and services, and develops emotional and multiple intelligence of the students through different student affairs and services. The Academic Program of ASCOT serves as its arm in attaining its vision of becoming "a center of excellence in various programs of teachings." This program, which is directly administered by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ma Luz F. Cabatan, in coordination with the seven departments' different directors, showed their dedication in achieving academic excellence anew. On December 30, 1993, ASCOT was created under Republic Act No. 7664, which was made and sponsored by then-Senate President Edgardo Angara and the late representative Benedicto G. Miran. Immediately they formed the pre-organization Taskforce that would take over the management and operation of ASCOT through the leadership of Sen. Angara., the father and founder of the CollegeCollege. Negotiation and transactions were made with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sport (DECS), Division of Aurora under the Superintendent, Mr. Domingo Hulipas. They administered the freshmen students' admission and located the temporary classrooms for the next school year, 1993. ASCOT opened the next school year immediately with Dr. Benny A. Palma acting as the President. He came from Aklan State College of Agriculture (ASCA) now, Aklan State University (ASU) in Banga, Aklan. ASCOT started with three hundred one (301) freshmen students with its classes held in Baler Central School buildings. They were provided with ten (10) classrooms and one bigger room for its administration office. At the start, services were rendered by thirteen faculty and nine administrative personnel to teach and administer the State College. RA 7664 endorsed ASCOT, a campus site consisting of 196.06 hectares situated in Debudulan Mountain, Sitio Dicaloyungan, Brgy. Zabala, Baler, Aurora. The said area was declared as the ASCOT school site by President Proclamation No. 559 on April 7, 1996. It also mandated ASCOT to integrate the Aurora National Agricultural School in Maria Aurora, Aurora, and the Aurora National Fishery School in Casiguran, Aurora. Additional campus consisting of 110.8 hectares in Barangay Bazal, Maria Aurora, and 105 hectares in Barangay Bianoan, Casiguran, Aurora, is also acquired by the ASCOT memorandum of agreement with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports represented by Regional Director Pedro V. Trinidad of Region IV. The DAT-BAT Program with 259 students, ten faculty members, two support staff, books, farm equipment, vehicles, and buildings were also turned over to ASCOT. After a few years, its first-ever commencement exercises were held at the Baler Municipal Plaza on June 8, 1996, with Representative Bellaflor Angara-Castillo as the Commencement Speaker. A total of 178 students, 30 collegiate and 148 vocational, composed the first batch of graduates in four – year degree courses in Agriculture and two-year completion certificates for ladderized technology courses. Late in the year 1996, the General Education and other departments of the CollegeCollege moved to the completed Phase 1 of Dr. Juan C. Angara Hall in Sitio Dicaloyungan, Barangay Zabali, Baler, Aurora. View full university

Immediately they formed the pre-organization Taskforce that would take over the management and operation of ASCOT through the leadership of Sen. Angara., the father and founder of the CollegeCollege. Negotiation and transactions were made with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sport (DECS), Division of Aurora under the Superintendent, Mr. Domingo Hulipas. They administered the freshmen students' admission and located the temporary classrooms for the next school year, 1993. ASCOT opened the next school year immediately with Dr. Benny A. Palma acting as the President. He came from Aklan State College of Agriculture (ASCA) now, Aklan State University (ASU) in Banga, Aklan. ASCOT started with three hundred one (301) freshmen students with its classes held in Baler Central School buildings. They were provided with ten (10) classrooms and one bigger room for its administration office. At the start, services were rendered by thirteen faculty and nine administrative personnel to teach and administer the State College. RA 7664 endorsed ASCOT, a campus site consisting of 196.06 hectares situated in Debudulan Mountain, Sitio Dicaloyungan, Brgy. Zabala, Baler, Aurora. The said area was declared as the ASCOT school site by President Proclamation No. 559 on April 7, 1996. It also mandated ASCOT to integrate the Aurora National Agricultural School in Maria Aurora, Aurora, and the Aurora National Fishery School in Casiguran, Aurora. Additional campus consisting of 110.8 hectares in Barangay Bazal, Maria Aurora, and 105 hectares in Barangay Bianoan, Casiguran, Aurora, is also acquired by the ASCOT memorandum of agreement with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports represented by Regional Director Pedro V. Trinidad of Region IV. The DAT-BAT Program with 259 students, ten faculty members, two support staff, books, farm equipment, vehicles, and buildings were also turned over to ASCOT. After a few years, its first-ever commencement exercises were held at the Baler Municipal Plaza on June 8, 1996, with Representative Bellaflor Angara-Castillo as the Commencement Speaker. A total of 178 students, 30 collegiate and 148 vocational, composed the first batch of graduates in four – year degree courses in Agriculture and two-year completion certificates for ladderized technology courses. Late in the year 1996, the General Education and other departments of the CollegeCollege moved to the completed Phase 1 of Dr. Juan C. Angara Hall in Sitio Dicaloyungan, Barangay Zabali, Baler, Aurora.
  8. The Aurora Montessori School (AMS) has been offering excellence in education for 27 years for children 18 months to grade 8. Our Staff understands and then educate children's unique capabilities and human potential, producing responsible, self-directed learners and critical thinkers. A multitude of individual interest clubs, Spring and Summer Camps, and Before and After-school Programs are just some of the enhancements that make our school unique. Our mission is to help children realize the great potential that rests within them by assisting them in developing a sense of self and inspiring them to act on their ambitions. By adhering to the core principles and philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori, we are devoted to each child's intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development. The Aurora Montessori School story began in 1989 when the founder and Principal of Aurora Montessori, Sharon Kashani, rented a picturesque farmhouse on the corner of Bayview Avenue and Wellington Street in Aurora. Mrs. Kashani's main goal was to create an environment and educational curricula that would enhance children's learning on all levels. Her vision was to provide academic support while allowing each child to recognize his or her inner potential and talent by following the educational formula perfected by Maria Montessori. Upon opening, AMS accommodated twelve students who were enrolled at the newly founded school. AMS programs were specifically developed to assist children during their most formative years, an approach which many of Aurora's young families embraced. The values and unique style of teaching and learning at AMS quickly helped the school gain recognition. The school initially focused on children aged 3-6, and gradually expanded to include education for students up to grade 8. As our attic filled with books, and our walls in drawings and student photos, it became clear that our small farmhouse was becoming too small to accommodate our growing student body. With four portable classrooms added in the coming years, the AMS community continued to blossom and grow to just over 120 students. By September of 1998, the school's programs had become well-established. Our modest Wellington campus was upgraded to today's 36,000 square foot facility that comprises ample working space for our students and Staff. The current state-of-the-art facility and advanced learning programs provide a snapshot of the school's historical trajectory towards new and exciting frontiers of learning and child development. Building self-motivation and self-confidence within children are key factors in allowing them to reach their learning potential. The Montessori method was designed to achieve these goals by incorporating specially integrated educational activities into a child's daily school routine. The Montessori method emphasizes a child's interaction with his or her environment by utilizing all five senses. On a fundamental level, this method is meant to stimulate the child's interest while fostering a heightened level of understanding of their studies at the same time. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own individual pace and are given the freedom to explore a seemingly infinite array of the subject matter. At AMS, learning is an exciting process of discovery, and our school stays true to core Montessori values, providing an environment that promotes desirable behavioral attributes, such as: Having compassion and respect for others Independence Responsibility Improved concentration, motivation, and self-discipline Self-confidence Foster self-discovery and reasoning Montessori classes form communities where older children are motivated to share their knowledge with their younger colleagues. Countless academic and private research studies have shown that Montessori principles and philosophies are proven to yield superior results to traditional educational models when administered correctly. The child has a deep love and needs for purposeful work. However, he works not as an adult for profit and completion of a job, but for the sake of the activity itself. This activity accomplishes his most important goal: the development of himself, his mental, physical, and mental powers. Montessori created a Cosmic Curriculum through which a child develops an understanding and appreciation of everything that has occurred in order for the world to exist in its present state. AMS now sits on 14 rolling acres at the end of the beautiful winding Aurora Road, on the corner of St. John's Sideroad and Industrial Parkway. AMS holds to Mrs. Kashani's vision, as AMS staff, parents, and children continually advance towards a brighter educational future. The spirit of AMS is one that continues to grow and develop as a part of the local Aurora community, and we are happy to welcome new faces and familiar friends alike. Children from 18 months to 14 years of age are welcome to enjoy the advantages of our thriving educational establishment. View full school
