As long as
there is a
centre, the observer, the thinker, the watcher, whatever he does will be
within the prison walls.

schools founded by j krishnamurti:
School is a place where one learns about the totality, the wholeness of
life. Academic excellence is absolutely necessary, but a school teaches
more than that. It is a place where the teacher and the taught explore
not only the outer world, the world of knowledge, but also their own
thinking, their behavior.

school in the forest
The
Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary is a forest
garden in the Western Ghat mountains of Kerala, India, dedicated
to conservation and education. This mountain system is bordered
by the Arabian Sea on one side and vast arid areas on others. It
supports a unique and endangered flora, and has been identified
by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
as one of the 25 centres of biodiversity in the world.
Founded in 1981, the Sanctuary is a garden of wild
plant species grown at the edge of a large rainforest reserve.
Our central intention is to restore endangered species and
habitats in a highly fragmented landscape, in which only a
fraction of original forest remains and much of the native flora
is extracted for human use.
The Sanctuary is run by a small group of resident
gardeners, naturalists and educators, and supported by a wide
circle of well-wishers. Together we offer an approach that is
connected to the climate, landscape, ecosystems, plants, animals
and people of the Western Ghats.
Caring for the natural world and finding our place
in it requires us to open our senses, enter natural spaces and
to be where the wild things are. Our residential programmes for
schoolchildren are aimed at addressing the increasing alienation
of people from nature. This is accomplished primarily
through an experiential approach to natural history: the
cultivation of sensory skills in intensive ‘immersion’ programs
in which contact with the forest is core.

the living school
... is a democratic, learner-centered educational
environment that is community-based, experientially centered, and
focused on the creativity and intelligence inherent in each student. We
foster inquiry in each participant by allowing the school itself to be a
living experiment in learning.
We have created a school in which children and adults
together can experience the world as a whole. A school in which
participants--children, parents, and teachers--create forms for
exploring our relationship to life in all its variety.

Education is not merely the acquisition of technical
knowledge, but the understanding with sensitivity and intelligence of
the whole problem of living... the whole structure of human existence.
