1932, Bennington was founded on the belief that the education
most worth having is the one you create for yourself. The College does not require you to fulfill a set of ready-made requirements; instead, it challenges you to discover your
own intellectual identity and to design an education that will
help turn you into the person you hope to become.
In other words, Bennington does not expect students to conform,
but to transform.
The faculty plays a crucial
role in helping students accomplish this distinctive education. Students learn
about literature from authors who write and publish it. Physicists
and philosophers and playwrights teach at many other colleges, but
typically they ask their students to do very different work
from the kind they do themselves. At Bennington, students don’t
learn about biology (or poetry, history or anthropology) from their
teachers; rather, they practice with their teachers.
