Why Twelve?

The first Twelve years decide what a child carries forever.

Language, identity and cultural pride are best cemented during adolescence. In the window from birth to twelve, a child's ear is still open to tone and their imagination reaches into the heart a folktale.

Twelve exists for this window. Not a weekend class to get the gist later - a foundation poured while it still sets.
