Sasha is passionate about helping students flourish. He believes that for students to thrive in the face of the complex challenges of modernity, educators must help them become global citizens who care about the common good. Sasha focuses on igniting an innate curiosity within his students that promotes lifelong learning. He is particularly fascinated by contemplative practices and finding ways to skillfully integrate them into the classroom to foster whole-child development.
