Schumacher College

Dartington Trust is home to two faculties, Schumacher College and Dartington Arts School, which – through undergraduate and postgraduate programs and short courses – offer a radically transdisciplinary approach to education.

More broadly, this site is a center for learning, arts, ecology and social justice, with the student campus being a key element in the life of the estate.

Schumacher College aims to help participants experience what founder Leonard Elmhirst called “the abundant life.” The College's community life takes place in and around a medieval house near Totnes, England.

During the day, lectures, discussions and small groups take place. In the afternoons it is possible to take excursions to the coast or to Dartmoor, walks, study visits, tutorials or specialist conferences. There are meditation times, a group meeting and a session in which participants help prepare food and maintain the surrounding environment. This aspect of the courses is an essential element of College life: integrating intellectual discussions into daily activities related to building maintenance promotes a level of understanding in which personal values ​​and course objectives are combined.
