The School of Spiritual Science

“The members of the School will...make the Anthroposophical Society into something that alone can give justification to its existence.”  —Rudolf Steiner, Nov. 1922

Foundation Statutes of the Anthroposophical Society of 1923 (“The Christmas Conference”):

5. The Anthroposophical Society sees The School of Spiritual Science in Dornach (Switzerland) as a center for its activity.

9. The purpose of the Anthroposophical Society will be the furtherance of spiritual research; that of the School of Spiritual Science will be this research itself. A dogmatic stand in any field whatsoever is to be excluded from the Anthroposophical Society.

Leaders in The School of Spiritual Science discuss its multifaceted nature, purposes, and future arising from its inception in 1923/24 during the reestablishment of The General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach:
