Hermeion is a school that offers a profound education to children as a means of life. We are going through a period of decline during which we find that the modern world is full of all kinds of problems at all levels: environmental, social, economic, crime, impersonal human relationships, wars, etc. The Western world, at least, was based on material values and now it is slowly degrading and collapsing.
Modern educational systems have mainly shaped children with learning difficulties, antisocial to criminal behavior, and psychological problems. We read articles by university professors who complain that modern students are misspelled or that children who graduated from six-grade high schools several years ago had more education by modern students.
How is it that children have such a wealth of information at their disposal and that the majority of them lack not only in knowledge, but also in abilities, such as judgment, initiative, self-knowledge, self-confidence, etc.? How is it possible for the modern world to have the most advanced technology and the greatest abundance of material goods, but to collapse morally and people do not enjoy the existing goods? Everything is a matter of education. Modern societies, with the educational systems they adopted, the standards they put forward and the way of life they promoted, have failed miserably.
