TARCO Association Educational Program will focus on:

• Self-Discipline: There is no better discipline than Self Discipline.

​

“I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.” - Aristotle

​

• A School of Motivation: Keep a motivational and fraternal spirit.

​

“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.” – Andrew Carnegie

​

• Build a School of Life Skills more than a School of Tasks: Increasingly, if a computer can do it better than you, then you are replaceable.

​

We want to create a street-smart school where you are taught to live socially with friendship classes, classes to navigate bureaucracy, build an organisation, raise money, create a database, manage personal finances, spot a scam, talk someone out of suicide, figure out what is important, manage life expectations but most importantly: love to learn. These things are not addressed by typical lectures.

​

• A School of Leadership: Leading mostly by example and by serving others.

​

“To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.” - Andre Malraux

​

• A School of Health: Physical health and then mental health¨. It is of vital importance to respect one’s body and mind.

​

“Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.” - Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War

​

• Visionary rather than backward looking

  • Technology and increasingly open universities allow us to gather the best educational information.

  • Look around and see what works and what doesn't around the world but also innovate.

  • Allow the student to go deeper in a subject with access to digital libraries.

​

• Human: A School of mentors rather than teachers.

  • Encourage the participation of as many voluntary speakers as possible:

    • Taught by leaders in the industry

    • Gather real Life Experiences

    • Render classes meaningful

​

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie

​

• Train on other types of intelligence: Linguistic, intra-personal, spatial, naturalist, musical, logical-mathematical, existential, interpersonal and bodily kinesthetic.

​

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein

• Independent Mindset: A School with no political agenda but freedom and critical thinking.

​

“There is no neutral education. Education is either for domestication or for freedom.” – Joao Coutinho
