Marsilio Ficino (1433-99)

Comprehensive Education of the Mind, Body and Spirit

Ficino School provides an academic, cultural and physical education that engenders a love of knowledge and empowers children to learn, to achieve, and to confidently strive to realise their full personal potential both in school and life.

The contemporary and progressive Ficino teaching ethos originates from the St James School in London. It utilizes practices that help children to attend fully to their work with a quieter, more focused mind.

Marsilio Ficino (1433-99), is a classical figure of philosophy and learning. His authoritative translations of the early Greek philosophers and his extensive correspondence with the leading scholars of the day were significant in the rebirth of Platonic thinking. Working from his Platonic Academy in Florence, he proved a significant influence in the Italian Renaissance and, as a friend to John Colet, was influential in the development of the English Public School system.
