ERT SCHOOLS IN PRACTICE

Our first schools, St James Junior School for Boys and St James Junior School for Girls, were started in London in 1975. Now there are two secondary schools in London as well, and the children of those founding children are themselves attending St James.

The idea of offering children an education based on philosophical and spiritual principles has spread. Following London’s lead, schools have been set up in Manchester (St James), Dublin (John Scottus Schools), New York City (Philosophy Day School), Sydney (John Colet) and Melbourne (Erasmus), Auckland (Ficino School), Johannesburg (St James), Cape Town (Auburn House) and San Fernando (Renaissance) in Trinidad. Durban (St James) is the newest member of this worldwide family.

Wherever they are, these schools benefit the lives of children, teachers and communities. The pupils achieve high standards, academically, artistically and in sport. Schools inspectors give them good reports.
