Michelle Gilman, of Fusion Academy, spoke to host Allen Cardoza from Answers For The Family on L.A. Talk Radio about what it means to create “better humans on the planet,” as well as high academic achievers. She described her school’s alternative approach to today’s mainstream education.
Fusions’ focus on nurturing love, happiness, self-esteem, and high academic achievement in young people is providing outstanding results. One of the reasons is allowing each student to work at their own pace.
