Humanities for everyone
Why an education in the humanities? Literature and the arts broaden our understanding of who we are. In them we recognize what we hold in common—our nature, our past, and our purpose. They situate us in the world and deepen our sympathy for the life we share. Through the wisdom they cultivate, our intellectual, moral and spiritual freedom expands: To know what is true, to order our lives by what is best, to love our neighbors and serve the common good, to have confidence in our past, and hope for our future—all these are illuminated and strengthened by an exceptional education in the humanities.
We equip humanities teachers with everything they need to master the art of teaching
Our team of Master Teachers has 100+ years of collective experience teaching students and training teachers. We know the humanities, and we know teaching.
Teach the essentials
The essential skills are close reading, intelligent discussion, and clear writing.
Essential works include classics and modern classics in literature and the arts.
We provide what you need to develop Socratic questions, lively discussions and seminars, instruction for clear, persuasive, sensitive and precise writing, and coaching that guides each student to greater proficiency.
