Schola Classical Tutorials
Schola Classical Tutorials offers live group tutorials over the internet in the subjects of a classical Christian liberal arts curriculum: the classical languages, the great books of literature and history, and rhetoric. These are the subjects that teach students the skills of thinking and learning, the history of the ideas that have shaped our culture, and the taste for wisdom, beauty, and virtue. These skills, and a knowledge of these ideas, are the foundation for further study and for a lifetime of learning and intelligent participation in our culture.
Schola's tutorials are offered for students who are willing to devote themselves to a course of serious liberal arts study before they enter college or the world of employment and family. Schola's tutorials provide guidance for the self-motivated student who understands that the real work of learning takes place in his own study time with a book, a pencil, and an active mind. Participants in Schola's tutorials, both teacher and pupil, constitute a body of followers of classical education.
Hill Abbey summer session
Hill
Abbey's summer session is a two-week program devoted to the slow
reading of
the early church fathers with a small group of like-minded people in
pleasant, quiet surroundings and a structured, rhythmic schedule. The
daily rhythm is begun and ended by Scripture reading, psalm singing,
and liturgical prayer; and
it is varied
with walks in the woods, evening fires, short-story reading, and
star-gazing. Hill
Abbey's summer session, located in beautiful northern Idaho, is more
like a temporary
monastery than a college study program or summer camp and is dedicated
to the idea that wisdom
and happiness require periodic times of withdrawal from the
tyrannical pace and myriad distractions of "normal"
life for the sake of reflection, meditation, and focus. In this time we
finds our focus in listening attentively to the wisdom in the voices of
the great fathers of the Christian church.
The Company of the Fathers is a group of people scattered geographically but gathered online for the purpose of reading together Philip Schaff's 38-volume Early Church Fathers set. We have a blog to post comments, thoughts, and questions about the reading; it serves as a record of our progress through the Fathers. All are welcome.
