St James Independent Schools - Connection With The School of Economic Science

Connection With The School of Economic Science

See also: Leon MacLaren

Although the St James' Schools are legally independent from the School of Economic Science they continue a close association with it, seeking to preserve the ethos of its philosophical principles. These are derived from the Advaita Vedanta philosophical tradition, which the schools describe as encompassing the concept of unity, and of a multicultural approach which embraces all faiths – and no faith. SES philosophy is taught and transcendental meditation is practiced in the schools.

Subsequent to the Inquiry (see 'Criticisms' below), the schools have produced a booklet, Answer to Frequently Asked Questions, in which they describe their relationship with the School of Economic Science.
