Working on the frescoes at Waterperry House. This six year project, undertaken by artists studying in the School, was designed to create an inspiring interior space.  Traditional fresco techniques were used throughout, painting into freshly laid lime plaster.  Tours of the finished frescoes, spanning three floors, are now available.  All are warmly welcome.  For details, phone Waterperry Gardens Ltd on 01844 339254


title_principles_and_practices

The School has adopted various working principles with the aim of protecting the integrity of its work and the welfare of its students. These include the following:

  • All are welcome to sample what the School has to offer through the introductory courses, and to continue further with their studies if so inclined
  • The intent of the School is that everyone attending, however long or short their stay, will find something of value in their lives
  • All tutors other than the senior tutor are also students of philosophy in the School
  • Tutors receive no remuneration for their services
  • The fact that someone is attending courses in the School, or has a position of trust within it, should never be used for the purpose of securing financial gain
  • Course fees are used to enable the School to continue offering its courses to as many people as possible
  • Fees are kept to a practical minimum. They do not cover capital expenditure, which is made possible by donations, loans and legacies from students with the means to contribute in this way
  • Students are asked not to indulge in criticism of others, but to practise tolerance and respect towards fellow students
