EQ specializes in working with unfortunate children that most adults find difficult to handle. Many are educationally and socially disadvantaged because of early life experience that may have included domestic abuse, separation from parents, institutionalization, bereavement, prolonged deprivation or an especially traumatic event.

We provide mentoring. This helps children become self-aware and resilient – capable of understanding that some experiences are negative or unhappy, not life, not existence.

We provide educational rehabilitation. This enables children to maximize their potential within a formal schooling system to which they are not well attuned.

Our techniques are pioneering.

'It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.'
