After the first year of study—the standard course—students may, if they wish, continue their training to obtain the ES.TE.TRA. Teacher Diploma. ES.TE.TRA. is the acronym for the teaching methodology of Transcendental Art: EXpression, TEchnique, TRAnscendence. The three teaching terms are based on the development of these three stages of creative growth.
The institute's aims are neither economic nor concerned with expanding the organisation. The school will always remain a small school with a limited number of selected students; it does not seek to become a large educational institution. Its goals are therefore not quantitative in any way, but exclusively qualitative.
Training people within the institute aims to create a generation of artists and teachers who will spread this new sensibility, known as Transcendental Art. It is a centre for research, study, experimentation and the dissemination of New Humanism.
