May wisdom guide your compassion.................
Yes you are fortunate to have that kind of Leeway!
My children went to Catholic School up through the 8th grade.
Even though I am very much NOT a Catholic (or any religous anything) I did like the structure in which they were taught.
They were taught actual GRAMMAR SKILLS for example.
By the time they got to Public High School they were more then ready.
The Public High School we sent them to (We had to use our option of School of Choice) is one of the better ones in our area.
For example our son was allowed to take Russian for 4 years and both of our children were on the Academic Decathlon Team for their school.
Which they took the State Crown more so then not.

So with all of that my wife and I are thankful.
However, we cannot 'teach' them Wisdom.
We can show/explain to them that they have the opportunity to acquire wisdom.
It is something only they can do on their own.

I was taught that Wisdom is Knowledge Applied.
I add to that equation by stating it is Knowledge Applied PLUS Experience.
Other words making mistakes is a sure fire way in which to acquire Wisdom.

My only complaint (Well, I actually had many 'complaints'...hehe) was these Religious Schools try to push Right Wing Propaganda on the students.
Our children saw through that from an early age.
Mostly on there own.

By know means am I critizing you. What you are trying to do is very noble and loving.

When you are asking about 'Consciousness Science' do you mean the Science of Consciousness?
I am a bit confused to what you are asking of us....that is all.

If it is the Science of Consciousness then I found this weblink.
