About Jean
Dr. Jean Schweizer,
Ph.D. Granted by notable foundations, Jean has worked with gifted, deaf, blind and the so-called, ’average’ child and has presented this work as guest lecturer in many noted Institutions. Jean served the Center for Creative Education since its inception, originally funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the board of Education and other prominent Funding Foundations. At that time she created a movement approach to understanding basic math skills, which the children named, “Circle Math’ and which helped to double the math scores in the public schools. Co-founder of several schools, Jean founded the Center for Universal Learning, Inc., a center for people to come together and share ideas through motion, sound, color and music located in Boynton Beach, Florida. Jean authored the book, New Children Of Earth-Reach, Teach And Inspire The Indigo Children, currently conducting training for professionals to use this expanded information in their own practices to meet the increasing numbers of ‘New Children’ seen everywhere. She also provides workshops for parents and Impulse Balancing for all children. Most recently, out of their diverse backgrounds, Graciela Binaghi, Mime Master and Jean, Impulse Master have joined to bring a new understanding to education, through the integration of new avenues of perception, intuition and creative intelligence. They represent two opposite approaches to movement; mime taking what is visible into the invisible and Impulse which goes from the invisible to the visible opens a multivariable horizon to explore the essence of education through action, experience, continuity and the joy of learning. |

An active supporter of the arts in both education and therapy, Jean uses art as an integral part of her work. Jean began her movement training, Eurythmy, at the age of 13 to facilitate her recovery from a life threatening illness, which significantly guided the direction of her life as artist, educator and therapist. Jean trained in Waldorf Education, an alternative approach, at the same time pursuing a traditional degree in education. She went on to teach in Schools in the US as well as Europe. Jean received her Ph.D. with a special emphasis in Movement Education.
