The Lynedoch village is home to the Sustainability Institute, Spark Lynedoch primary school, a Montessori pre-school, and the Lynedoch Community School. The village is also a site of scientific and cultural interest, for the research generated by our environmental interventions, and our daily practice as a village of residents and neighbours finding ways to live together across a range of real and imagined differences.
The Sustainability Institute is a non-profit trust, founded in 1999. An international living and learning centre focussing on studies and experience in ecology, community and spirit, we work in partnership with the School of Public Management and Planning, University of Stellenbosch in the following areas of education (Masters and PhD degrees in Sustainable Development Planning and Sustainable Agriculture), Early Childhood Development, Community Development Practice and Management, project facilitation to establish Sustainable Neighbourhood Developments in various localities, policy research in the sustainable development sector.
