The SelfDesign philosophy has continued to drive Jonn Ireland even decades after completing his education with SelfDesign’s predecessor, Wondertree 🌟
"The philosophy is still infused into my life today in ways that support me to be brave and curious about the life choices I make. You can just follow your enthusiasm, and that was the key to Wondertree and SelfDesign: following enthusiasm."
At SelfDesign, we believe in nurturing autonomy, curiosity, connection and collaboration, authenticity, confidence, open-mindedness, respect and resilience.
These aren't just nice words. They're principles that shape how children approach learning, and ultimately, how they approach life. 💪
When children follow their enthusiasm, when they’re supported to be brave, curious and trusted to chart their own path, they don't just succeed in school, they develop capacities that serve them for a lifetime.

Since 2006, SelfDesign’s Collaboratory events have been opportunities for our online contractor community to gather in person. The common thread across all Collabs has been the excitement our incredible team feels when they get to be together! ❤️
The informal connections made strengthen the fibre of our SelfDesign community beyond just work.

At SelfDesign Learning Community, we believe something fundamental: that learning happens everywhere, that children are natural learners, and that education should be built around relationships and curiosity. 🌎🤔
This isn't just philosophy. It's practice.
Your child works one-on-one with a BC-certified learning consultant who gets to know them and their interests, strengths and challenges. Not as data points, but as a whole person.
You, as a parent, are valued as an equal partner in your child's education. Your insights matter as much as professional expertise.
Learning happens through conversations, not just assignments. Through connection, not just curriculum. At home, in the community and through experiences that feel meaningful to your child.
We're one of BC's Independent Provincial Online Learning Schools (iPOLS), which means we meet provincial standards while honouring our unique philosophy of self-directed, relationship-centred and personalized learning. 🫂
From kindergarten to Grade 12, SelfDesign Learning Community offers flexibility, support and an approach to education that sees your child as a capable, curious human being, not a vessel to be filled with information.
