Bring a Great Books Presenter to your school!
Whether you're well acquainted with the program or are just now learning about us, you might be interested in hearing more about the Great Books Summer Program from one of our prestigious academic directors.
Throughout the school year, we'll be traveling all over the country, meeting with teachers, students, and parents to talk about our unique academic approach and fantastic learning community. Our academic directors will visit student classrooms, meet with teachers to discuss the principles of the "shared inquiry" method, and go to the homes of our alumni to deliver sample lectures and answer questions about the program.
Talk to us today to ensure that your school is included in our travels, spots are filling up quickly. Host one of our academic directors in your school or at your home, and share what makes our community so special! What better way to revisit the great books experience than to share it with your friends, classmates, or colleagues!
