Arthur Morgan School
Arthur Morgan School (AMS) is a small, coed boarding and day school for 27 students in grades 7, 8 and 9. AMS is located on 100 acres of farm and wilderness in the Celo Community, in the mountains of Western North Carolina about an hour's drive north of Asheville, North Carolina, and 20 minutes southeast of Burnsville, North Carolina.
The AMS program focuses on the holistic education of adolescents. In addition to the academic program, the school has an outdoor program including 3-, 6- and 8-day hikes, which often explore the nearby Black Mountains. Students participate in the day-to-day running of the school and assist with campus maintenance, the organic farm and garden, cooking and chores. Service learning opportunities are a part of the program and the calendar includes an 18-day field trip during which the students and staff offer service work in other communities. Students also have regular opportunities at AMS to participate in consensus decision-making, to develop nonviolent conflict resolution skills and to experience a rural lifestyle that emphasizes respect, responsibility and community.
== Philosophy and history ==
Elizabeth and Ernest Morgan founded the Arthur Morgan School in 1962 to provide a learning environment tailored for children in their early adolescence. The school was named after Arthur Ernest Morgan, Ernest Morgan’s father. Arthur Morgan was a social philosopher, civil engineer, educator, and public servant.
The educators who influenced Elizabeth Morgan in the formation of her own philosophy of education were Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, N. F. S. Grundtvig, Mahatma Gandhi, Maria Montessori, John Dewey and Arthur Ernest Morgan. The philosophy and methods of these educators emphasize the development of the whole person through a combination of study, work, and social interaction in a community. These were all leaders in progressive education who thought practical education was important in order for men and women to be enlightened. In addition, they stress inner motivation and the responsibility of the individual as a part of the whole. Elizabeth Morgan added her own Quaker values of simple living, consensus decision-making, and non-violent problem-solving to the mix.
