Featured Video: Samdhong Rinpoche, Lobsang Tenzin, Former Prime Minister of the Central Tibetan Administration

See the world through our students’ eyes:

In 2013, Mount Madonna School students, as part of their Values in World Thought class, travelled to India. During that learning journey, they interviewed Samdhong Rinpoche, Lobsang Tenzin, former prime minister of the Central Tibetan Administration (government-in-exile). Samdhong Rinpoche is an incredible teacher and this discussion primarily centered around education and values concepts. 

Through study, reflection, dialogue and action, we seek to develop our capacities as responsible and compassionate world citizens.
