In 1933, the Asheville Farm School created a report entitled A New Progressive Educational Program. They announced a bold vision—one that rejected the “standard educational procedures,” embraced “the changing conditions” of the students at that time, and promised education that gives “the student the first and last consideration.” The School promoted access and innovation to cultivate the minds and hearts of students.
Now more than 90 years later, Warren Wilson College stands on that hallmark with a renewed Progressive Promise. We are rekindling the progressive principles on which our College was built, reaffirming our commitment to the liberal arts and sciences for a positive impact on the world. Through learning by doing—in the classroom, in our work program, and in our communities—our students will gain tools and confidence to advance individual purpose in service to the common good.
You can help secure this future of the College by making a planned gift while at the same time ensuring you and your family’s future as well.
