Schumacher College is a higher education institution based in Dartington, England, with a long-standing focus on holistic ecological education. For more than three decades it has pursued a transdisciplinary approach that weaves together disciplines as diverse as ecology, poetry, economics, phenomenology, design, mythology, soil science, and contemplative practice. The college emphasizes interactive, experiential learning designed to cultivate practical skills and holistic thinking to address 21st-century challenges and foster regenerative futures. Grounded in its roots and ethos, the institution aims to help students become change-makers who can act meaningfully on pressing global issues. It operates as a small to mid-sized organization within the higher education sector and is associated with founder Satish Kumar, whose work contributed to Schumacher College receiving the RSA Bicentenary Medal in 2023 for ecological education. In 2025, the Satish Kumar Foundation acquired Schumacher College, signaling a new phase and renewed energy for the institution.
