Deep Springs is hard core and not for the feint of heart. Students spend 20-30 hours a week maintaining a cattle ranch and alfalfa farm in the school's labor program. Tuition (valued at $50,000 per year) is free—all students (all 26) are on a two-year full scholarship. After two years most students transfer to Harvard, Cornell, U. of Chicago, Yale, Berkeley, Brown, or Oxford. Students read 1000-2000 pages a week in a heavily classics and text-based curriculum. Reading all of Das Kapital, Moby Dick, and The Grapes of Wrath, would be a representative week of reading. Most assignments are large research papers or short "response papers." Most students write roughly 20 pages a week.This is the ideal school for the humanist, the writer, the communitarian, the idealist, and the worker. It is not for the materialist, the slacker, or the weak. Deep Springs is highly competitive, highly intellectual, and holistically rigorous. It is bold and beautiful and among the best schools in the country. |
