The School’s primary source of funding is the fees paid by students attending courses. Fees are kept to the minimum necessary to provide for the facilities required to offer courses as widely as possible. In addition, the School depends a great deal on the generosity of students through gifts and bequests. Over the last fifty years in Gauteng, the School has acquired a number of properties which are all used for the provision of courses or the location of the children’s schools. The aim is to maintain and improve the properties as best possible to provide the most suitable surroundings for philosophical study. No member obtains an income from the School’s activities.
