University of Salvington

Salvington New School of the Planetary Prince of Urantia - The Salvington School - University of Salvington.

A world center of civilization, a great planetary university of culture; a world class education for the soul; celestial ministry whose traditions would exert a cumulative force of the next 500,000 years of integrated unified evolutionary influence in advancing the world culture towards expanding cosmic consciousness and enhancing spiritual perception .. in quickening universal meanings and heightening every sensitivity .. towards directionizing the impulse of all motives godward and towards raising the understanding of purpose, priority, and purity . . .

It is a custom which eventually spreads the ideals of Eden to a whole world; accelerating world culture and world affairs towards a unified world consciousness that leads humankind and the kingdoms of the planet into the epochal era of light and life. 

From such a world center of culture and achievement there gradually radiates to all peoples an uplifting and civilizing influence which slowly and certainly transforms the evolutionary races. 

Meantime the educated and spiritualized children of the surrounding peoples who have been adopted and trained in the prince’s schools are returning to their native groups and the planetary Isles of light and life and, to the best of their ability, are there establishing new and potent centers of learning and culture which they carry on according to the plan of the prince’s schools. 

These new and potent centers of learning and culture are the Planetary Isles of training and advancement.

The Planetary Headquarters and the Urantia Planetary Schools anchoring upon the planet in conjunction with those Celestial Ministries and the Divine Administration for the Planetary Civilization in Guiding the Human evolution as Co-Caretakers of the Earthly Kingdoms - human, elemental nature, electron, animal kingdoms

The Planetary Headquarters School and its Planetary Isles of Light and Life; these Isles of Living Truth are the Schools of Illumination and Advancement of the Planetary Prince, and they are primarily concerned with philosophy, religion, morals, and the higher intellectual and artistic achievements.

Mortal man secures three great satisfactions from religious experience, even in the days of his temporal sojourn on earth:

1. Intellectually he acquires the satisfactions of a more unified human consciousness.

2. Philosophically he enjoys the substantiation of his ideals of moral values.

3. Spiritually he thrives in the experience of divine companionship, in the spiritual satisfactions of true worship.

The Salvington School Program

The Salvington School is a Public White Lily League Preparatory College founded in 2011. It is the educational program affiliated with Sovrnty, a public charity serving the evolutionary needs of all races and religious affiliations. It is dedicated to Absolute Truth, Order, Justice, and the Progressive Advancement of all creatures. It serves the total civilization while upholding a very distinctive academic community. The College is a revelatory ‘seed-bed’ of the emerging renaissance throughout the Americas, Europe, Arabia, and Asia Pacifica.

Salvington is the oldest institution in Nebadon Universe. It is the School of the Planetary Prince for the civilization. The current institution received a collegiate charter in 2011. In the same year, Salvington  adopted a Great Books curriculum based on the revelatory lectures and writings of its Founder and a collegiate discussion of works from the Western Canon of philosophical, religious, historical, mathematical, scientific, and literary works throughout the centuries. 

The Salvington School offers an interdisciplinary curriculum in which students explore 200 revolutionary great books across 5,000 years of human thought in discussion-based classes, lecture halls, and spirited conferences. 

By probing world-changing ideas of absoluteness and truth, students begin to view the inalienable threads of truth and absolute knowledge in literature, philosophy, mathematics, science, music, history, and more, students on our virtual campus come to realize new meanings and to exalt new values while organically awakening a new vision, a dignified character growth, and an integrity of personhood all lead to an inner renaissance of unity within the One Spirit Intelligence of Life.

At the heart of The Salvington School is a ‘liberal arts’ curriculum focused on reading and discussing many of the greatest books and most important questions in history. This is perhaps the most distinctively truth revealing  curriculum of any college in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. 

Our students read the original writings of great thinkers across 5,000 years of history, engage in vigorous classroom discussion with fewer than 25 students around the seminar table, and study interdisciplinary ideas across the humanities and sciences without limiting students to the restrictions of any predetermined avenues of learning.

The program of study, nearly all of which is mandatory, requires that students read and discuss the works of many of Western civilization's most prominent contributors to philosophy, theology, mathematics, science, music, poetry, and literature. Tutorials, as well as seminar and conference laboratory activities, are discussion-based. Tutorial students often demonstrate their learning propositions and realizations. In the various language tutorials and conferences, student translations are presented. The tutorials, with chat seminars and laboratory involvement, constitute the classes. The campus is virtual and is organized into many focused lecture halls where the students can freely enter and engage with their fellows. All classes, and in particular the seminar conferences, are considered formal exercises; consequently, students address one another, with an honorific tone of recognition, respect, and reverential reception during class.

Salvington avoids modern textbooks and examinations, in favor of a series of orientation books and core writings. While the collegial culture of the school emphasizes concentration, cooperation, and collaboration, and their importance is preserved in its integrity, students are encouraged to cultivate a life of faithful trust and spontaneous genuinely personal communion with what is often referred to as the Great Adonai.

Participation is greatly supported in the school's culture of unconditional acceptance and understanding tolerance;  for the association amongst all fellows of the college allows members to thrive and prosper in their learning evolution. Students can choose to advance themselves as ministers and educational administrative tutors, as there are presently no faculty members being called at the college. The Founder, Michael of Nebadon, while giving all lectures and conferences  instrumentally focused upon accomplishing for individuals the Will of Eternity, plays a non-directive role in the classroom study halls and other worshipful activities on campus, compared to mainstream colleges. However, at Salvington, his guidance and instruction preserves an adorational high-mindedness and a respectful praise for each student, and the intensity varies by course and student reception. Class size is small on the campus, with a student to tutor ratio of 7:1. Seminar and conference is the largest class, with around 50 to 100  students. Daytime tutorials are smaller, typically ranging between 12 and 16 students and are led by one administrative tutor. Preceptorials and Intensifications are the smallest class size, ranging between 3 and 9 students. Students in the  program explore the revelatory religious spirituality of ideas which offer true answers to those persisting questions of human existence. By studying the writings of Michael of Nebadon and a vast selection of several other classic works of the western tradition, the Western Canon writings, students address the many challenges of human existence,  expression, and experience. There is an exquisitely refined educational program affiliated with Sovrnty and The Salvington School in its preparatory involvement with advancing the universe career of the individual. 

A common curriculum provides the basis for a shared intellectual community; discussion with fellow students and faculty is the mode of learning both inside and outside the classroom. Each quarterly semester, students attend seminar conferences, tutorials, and an intensified  preceptorial—all carried out as small-group discussions under the guidance of Salvington  members. In this regard, the School emphasizes a kind of self-governing accountability which most students enjoy participating within. These three types of classes are the framework of the distinctive Salvington  educational experience. 

The Salvington program provides a full set of readings in the philosophical, religious and literary traditions of the western literary and religious contributions, the middle eastern viewpoints and philosophical religious  ideologies, as well as, the three cultures of China, Japan, and India. For example, students learn Chinese culture by reading not only Confucius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, but also Mencius, Xun Zi, Han Feizi, and Mozi, as well as historical narratives by Sima Qian and the Zuo Zhuan, the later movement of Neo-Confucianism and Zhu Xi, narrative works such as Journey to the West or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the great Chinese poets, Li Bai, Wang Wei and Du Fu. This list represents only one-third of the required corpus, which also covers the major teachings and branches of Hinduism and the development of Theravada, Mahayana and Zen Buddhism, as well as such literary masterpieces as the Mahabharata, Shakuntala, The Tale of Genji, The Narrow Road to the Deep North and others. Students also are encouraged to take an understanding interest in the languages of either Sanskrit or Classical Chinese. 

There are many other bodies of thought which are an integral portion of the intensified readings and contemplative studies of the entire corpus of writings given.

Within the Class of 2023, 12 U.S. states and 15 countries are represented. Approximately 50% of students receive financial aid. First-year students range in age from 25 to 85.

The student body is relatively small compared to other liberal arts colleges, with a population historically below 500 students on the virtual campus during a year. The college offers many community seminars and lectures that are available to the public and are sponsored by City of Michael.

La Salvington School

La Salvington School es una escuela preparatoria pública de la White Lily League (Logia del Lirio Blanco) fundada en 2011. Es el programa educativo afiliado a Sovrnty, una organización benéfica pública que atiende las necesidades evolutivas de todas las razas y afiliaciones religiosas. Está dedicado a la Verdad Absoluta, el Orden, la Justicia y el Avance Progresivo de todas las criaturas. Sirve a la civilización total al tiempo que mantiene una comunidad académica muy distintiva. El College es un "semillero" revelador del renacimiento emergente en toda América, Europa, Arabia y Asia Pacífica.

Salvington es la institución más antigua del Universo de Nebadon. Es la Escuela del Príncipe Planetario para la civilización. La institución actual recibió una carta colegial en 2011. Ese mismo año, Salvington adoptó un plan de estudios de Grandes Libros basado en las conferencias y escritos reveladores de su Fundador y un debate colegiado de obras del Canon Occidental de obras filosóficas, religiosas, históricas, matemáticas, científicas y literarias a lo largo de los siglos. 

La Salvington School ofrece un plan de estudios interdisciplinar en el que los estudiantes exploran 200 grandes libros revolucionarios a lo largo de 5.000 años de pensamiento humano en clases basadas en el debate, aulas y animadas conferencias. 

Al sondear las ideas de absoluto y verdad que cambian el mundo, los estudiantes comienzan a ver los hilos inalienables de la verdad y el conocimiento absoluto en la literatura, la filosofía, las matemáticas, la ciencia, la música, la historia y más, los estudiantes de nuestro campus virtual llegan a darse cuenta de nuevos significados y a exaltar nuevos valores mientras despiertan orgánicamente una nueva visión, un crecimiento digno del carácter y una integridad de la persona, todo ello conduce a un renacimiento interior de unidad dentro de la Inteligencia del Espíritu Único de la Vida.

En el corazón de la Salvington School se encuentra un plan de estudios de "artes liberales" centrado en la lectura y el debate de muchos de los grandes libros y las cuestiones más importantes de la historia. Este es quizás el plan de estudios más distintivamente revelador de la verdad de cualquier college en América, Europa y Asia. 

Nuestros estudiantes leen los escritos originales de grandes pensadores a lo largo de 5.000 años de historia, participan en vigorosas discusiones en clase con menos de 25 estudiantes alrededor de la mesa del seminario, y estudian ideas interdisciplinares a través de las humanidades y las ciencias sin limitar a los estudiantes a las restricciones de ninguna vía predeterminada de aprendizaje.

El programa de estudios, casi en su totalidad obligatorio, requiere que los estudiantes lean y discutan las obras de muchos de los más destacados contribuyentes de la civilización occidental a la filosofía, la teología, las matemáticas, la ciencia, la música, la poesía y la literatura. Las tutorías, así como los seminarios y las actividades de laboratorio, se basan en el debate. Los estudiantes de las tutorías suelen demostrar sus propuestas y realizaciones de aprendizaje. En las diversas tutorías y conferencias lingüísticas se presentan las traducciones de los alumnos. Las tutorías, junto con los seminarios por chat y las actividades de laboratorio, constituyen las clases. El campus es virtual y está organizado en muchas aulas concentradas en las que los estudiantes pueden entrar libremente y relacionarse con sus fraternos. Todas las clases, y en particular las conferencias de los seminarios, se consideran ejercicios formales; en consecuencia, los estudiantes se dirigen unos a otros, con un tono honorífico de reconocimiento, respeto y recepción reverencial durante la clase.

Salvington evita los libros de texto y los exámenes modernos, en favor de una serie de libros de orientación y escritos básicos. Aunque la cultura colegial de la escuela hace hincapié en la concentración, la cooperación y la colaboración, y su importancia se conserva en su integridad, se anima a los estudiantes a cultivar una vida de fiel confianza y comunión genuinamente personal y espontánea con lo que a menudo se denomina el Gran Adonai.

La participación está muy apoyada en la cultura de la escuela de aceptación incondicional y tolerancia comprensiva; pues la asociación entre todos los fraternos del college permite a los miembros progresar y prosperar en su evolución de aprendizaje. Los estudiantes pueden optar por progresar como ministros y tutores administrativos educativos, ya que en la actualidad no hay ningún miembro del profesorado llamado en el college. El Fundador, Michael de Nebadon, aunque imparte todas las charlas y conferencias centradas instrumentalmente en lograr para los individuos la Voluntad de la Eternidad, desempeña un papel no directivo en las salas de estudio de las aulas y en otras actividades de culto del campus, en comparación con las universidades convencionales. Sin embargo, en Salvington, su guía e instrucción conserva una mentalidad elevada adoracional y un elogio respetuoso para cada estudiante, y la intensidad varía según el curso y la recepción del estudiante. El tamaño de las clases es reducido en el campus, con una proporción de alumnos por tutor de 7:1. Seminario y conferencia es la clase más grande, con alrededor de 50 a 100 estudiantes. Las tutorías diurnas son más reducidas, suelen tener entre 12 y 16 alumnos y están dirigidas por un tutor administrativo. Las preceptorías e intensificaciones son las clases más reducidas, con entre 3 y 9 estudiantes. Los estudiantes del programa exploran la espiritualidad religiosa reveladora de las ideas que ofrecen respuestas verdaderas a aquellas preguntas persistentes de la existencia humana. Mediante el estudio de los escritos de Michael de Nebadon y de una amplia selección de otras obras clásicas de la tradición occidental, los escritos del Canon Occidental, los estudiantes abordan los numerosos retos de la existencia, la expresión y la experiencia humanas. Existe un programa educativo exquisitamente refinado afiliado a Sovrnty y The Salvington School en su implicación preparatoria con el avance de la carrera universal del individuo. 

Un plan de estudios común proporciona la base para una comunidad intelectual compartida; el debate con los fraternos y el profesorado es el modo de aprendizaje tanto dentro como fuera del aula. Cada semestre trimestral, los estudiantes asisten a conferencias de seminario, tutorías y una preceptoría intensificada, todo ello llevado a cabo como discusiones en pequeños grupos bajo la dirección de los miembros de Salvington. En este sentido, la Escuela hace hincapié en una especie de autogestión responsable en la que la mayoría de los estudiantes disfrutan participando. Estos tres tipos de clases constituyen el marco de la experiencia educativa distintiva de Salvington. 

El programa Salvington ofrece un conjunto completo de lecturas sobre las tradiciones filosóficas, religiosas y literarias de las aportaciones literarias y religiosas occidentales, los puntos de vista e ideologías filosófico-religiosas de Oriente Medio, así como, las tres culturas de China, Japón e India. Por ejemplo, los alumnos aprenden la cultura china leyendo no sólo a Confucio, Laozi y Zhuangzi, sino también a Mencio, Xun Zi, Han Feizi y Mozi, así como las narraciones históricas de Sima Qian y el Zuo Zhuan, el movimiento posterior del neoconfucianismo y Zhu Xi, obras narrativas como Viaje al Oeste o el Romance de los Tres Reinos y los grandes poetas chinos, Li Bai, Wang Wei y Du Fu. Esta lista representa sólo un tercio del corpus exigido, que abarca también las principales enseñanzas y ramas del hinduismo y el desarrollo del budismo Theravada, Mahayana y Zen, así como obras maestras de la literatura como el Mahabharata, Shakuntala, La historia de Genji, El estrecho camino hacia el Norte profundo y otras. También se anima a los estudiantes a interesarse por el sánscrito o el chino clásico. 

Hay muchos otros cuerpos de pensamiento que forman parte integral de las lecturas intensificadas y los estudios contemplativos de todo el corpus de escritos impartidos.

En la promoción de 2023 están representados 12 estados de EE.UU. y 15 países. Aproximadamente el 50% de los estudiantes reciben ayuda financiera. La edad de los estudiantes de primer año oscila entre los 25 y los 85 años.

El alumnado es relativamente pequeño en comparación con otras universidades de artes liberales, con una población históricamente inferior a 500 estudiantes en el campus virtual durante un año. La universidad ofrece muchos seminarios y conferencias para la comunidad que están a disposición del público y son patrocinados por City of Michael.
