His Majesty King Charles III“Through the School of Traditional Arts, I have tried to do what I can to continue the living traditions of the world’s sacred and traditional art forms. It is all too easily forgotten how crucial traditions are in handing on the immense richness of human knowledge, wisdom and skill, and giving them new life and new application. I hope that the school’s practical teaching and outreach programmes will enable the next generation to bring their inheritance to life.”
Why we teach geometry
