Pre-College Summer Academy
Bridging the gap between school and the real world
Black Mountain College is the boldest, most ambitious educational experiment in American history
Black Mountain College was a legendary institute based on John Dewey’s principles of progressive education. BMC became a powerhouse of modern culture and despite being a small, rural college in Appalachia, BMC attracted some of the most illuminating minds of the time, including Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Aldus Huxley, and Buckminster Fuller. The College succumbed to financial difficulties and closed in 1953.
Today the spirit and philosophy of Black Mountain College continues to inspire innovators in the arts and sciences.
