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.

    “We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future.

    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest person possesses when, in connection with nature and the world, he experiences himself as “man”!”

    “Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
    —Barbara Bowman (20th century)

    “Until women learn to want economic independence ... and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.”
