Integral education

Integral education

Integral education refers to educational theories or institutions which are informed by integral theory.

There are several institutions that attempt to use integral theory to inform educational methodology. These include the the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, and The Mother's International School. Both of these institutions are associated with the ideas of Sri Aurobindo or his partner The Mother or their disciples, like Indra Sen.

Haridas Chaudhuri, a follower of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, and Fredrick Spiegelberg founded the California Institute of Integral Studies in 1968 in San Francisco.

Author Michael Murphy, who studied at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, founded the Esalen Institute with Dick Price in 1961.

Ken Wilber's Integral University, a part of the Integral Institute, is a set of programs offered at established schools such as John F. Kennedy University and Fielding Graduate University. [http://www.integralunivesity.com] Sean Esbjörn-Hargens, whose work uses Wilber's ideas, has written about integral education.

Literary figure William Irwin Thompson and mathematician Ralph Abraham, whose ideas about the evolution of consciousness are influenced by, among others, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, designed a curriculum for the private K-12 Ross School in East Hampton, New York and the Ross Global Academy in New York City. Thompson wrote an essay in 1998 entitled "Cultural History and the Ethos of the Ross School". Thompson had also founded the Lindisfarne Association in 1972.
