Sapientia Initiative

Nationally certified teacher training program (1,600 hours completed in a minimum of 3 years, with a 5-to-1 student teacher ratio). The organization's teacher training course continued to develop, nurture, and offer teaching of the highest standards according to the principles of f.m. Alexander. It provided financial assistance to students in need, and successfully graduated six new teachers for national certification.

Alexander technique (at) facilitation, expansion, and outreach. Sapientia continued to serve as a sustainable and expanding learning community for those seeking personal growth, health and well-being through the at. To this end, Sapientia's community outreach program "at for all" provided discounted and no-cost private lessons to those who would not have otherwise had the opportunity to study. We offered seasonal hybrid and in-person group classes for the general public, and continued learning for teachers, via "Sapientia series". To facilitate private at lessons, the center's fully-equipped rooms were offered free to students training to be teachers, and at below-market rates for teachers and faculty. Finally, an upstate land asset was maintained as a potential site for future residential courses outside of the city.
