For over 30 years, Schumacher College has pioneered holistic ecological education. This is the next step in our journey, and we are re-tuning our curriculum to the planetary situation we are now in. While acknowledging our deep roots with love and care, we are now moving into new grounds, inhabiting new places and taking new forms. Consequently, we are offering a radically new form of learning.   

We are a transdisciplinary college. Transdisciplinarity, for us, means to create and participate in a continuous, unfolding dialogue between the disciplines: between ecology and poetry, between economics and phenomenology, between design and mythology, between soil science and contemplative practice. In short, we offer an interwoven, interfused, intertwined, deeply polyphonic way of learning.   

We focus on interactive and experiential education to help students develop the practical skills and strategic, holistic thinking required to face 21st-century challenges and to instigate regenerative futures.

Our learning ethos is about participating, getting out into the field, into the kitchen, experiencing the world as a starting point for more in-depth enquiry. We exist to help our students become real change-makers and work out how to act meaningfully to help resolve the pressing issues we all face today.

Schumacher College and its founder Satish Kumar are proud recipients of the 2023 RSA Bicentenary Medal for outstanding contribution to ecological education.
