Study Opportunity

Are you interested in applying to the Camphill Academy to study Inclusive Social Development? Enrollment in the Academy program requires additional academic details.*

Which program are you interested in applying for?*

The Camphill Academy offers two levels of full-time academic programs in anthroposophic Inclusive Social Development. These programs are offered within the context of intentional community life at our participating communities.

Foundation Studies Program (one year)

Paraprofessional Certificate Program (three years)

The Camphill Academy has a baseline English proficiency requirement, both to ensure success in the academic coursework and to support your integration into diverse intentional community life. Non-native English speakers must submit a TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test (DET) score. Minimum scores for admission are:

TOEFL (Internet-based): 70
IELTS (overall band): 6
DET: 95

If you have existing scores, please contact your testing center or the Duolingo website to send them to Camphill Academy (for TOEFL, the institution code is #8718).

If you do not already have test scores, we recommend the Duolingo English Test. The Academy has a limited number of Duolingo English Test vouchers available for applicants for whom the cost poses a financial hardship.

We will request test scores after evaluating your application and initial interview.

In addition you will need to provide copies of your transcripts and/ or diploma and an academic reference.

Please choose one of the following to demonstrate your English-language proficiency:*

I already have English proficiency test scores and will submit them upon request

I intend to take the Duolingo English Test and will submit my test scores upon request

I have a financial hardship and request a voucher to take the Duolingo English Test
