Expect to be immersed in a truly openhearted environment; an educational community dedicated to the pursuit and production of knowledge to serve you personally as well as bestow this knowledge to our society.
Having worked for many years in administration and faculty at some of the largest schools in our field, I am most impressed by the personal, rigorous, challenging, rewarding, and affordable education provided at the Eastern School. We are an energetic and vibrant college at the forefront of education in holistic medicine. Rooted in our belief in tradition, and the historical and philosophical tenets upon which our medicine is based, we look to today and tomorrow to help us to understand ancient medicine’s relevance in the modern world. Through the constant pursuit of our Mission and the desire to better serve our community, we operate as a forward-focused institution with the following beliefs:
The Eastern School is entirely committed to the success of each student beginning as an advocate for their intellectual development. Students and teachers recognize that success is not a right but is earned through patience, time, fierce commitment, and the willingness to make sacrifices. We walk this journey together, step by step, onward to a gratifying future.
In Health, and to your success. I hope to meet you soon,
