Pestalozzi Village initially offered children vocational courses to equip them with skills from agriculture to carpentry.
Pestalozzi International Foundation was an educational charity based in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, England.
40 children between the ages of 10 and 18 from 15 European countries were accommodated and educated according to the principles of Swiss educationalist Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.
In later years, the charity's focus changed to providing educational opportunities for young people aged 16 to 19 who are academically bright, but financially disadvantaged.
Pestalozzi Scholars initially studied the International Baccalaureate Diploma at Sussex Coast College Hastings, living and learning together.
