The Goal of Scuola dei Bambini is..

The development of a complete human being, oriented to the environment and adapted to his or her time, place and culture. The adaptation involves the capacity to meet new situations and to have the intelligence and courage to transform them when change is needed.

Today we might define this goal as the preparation of children to live successfully in their world, by which we mean the future, rather than to live primarily in ours, which is the present and the past.
