EWS is set on a beautiful, 54 acre, wooded campus on the outskirts of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, just minutes from Durham and Raleigh. Chapel Hill is midway between the Appalachian mountains and the Atlantic coast, about 3 hours from each, and about 5 hours from Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, GA. As part of the beautiful, vibrant, rapidly growing Triangle Area, the town is convenient to five major universities, two excellent medical centers, and many cultural events including several professional theater companies, the North Carolina Symphony and the American Dance Festival. Chapel Hill enjoys a mild climate with four distinct seasons. The area also boasts several thriving Farmer’s Markets, natural food stores offering organic produce, and opportunities to participate in Community Support Agriculture. For more information, see the official Chapel Hill website.

Although only a mile from I-40, with easy access to other North Carolina towns, our campus is in a small rural and residential area, next door to a working educational farm, and 2 miles from Duke Forest, with its hundreds of acres of wooded nature preserve. Our setting provides a rural atmosphere, with the cultural advantages of a larger town.

There is a strong Anthroposophical community, including a physician, nurses, curative eurythmists, and rhythmical massage therapists. There are many active study groups, including the North Carolina Anthroposophical Association, Foundation Studies, a School of Spiritual Science group, and the beginnings of a Christian Community.
