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.
| "If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come." --C. S. Lewis, "Learning in War-Time", The Weight of Glory |
