Great Books Curriculum

The Great Books Curriculum is an educational approach focused on studying a curated collection of classic texts from history, philosophy, literature, and science. It emphasizes engaging directly with original works by influential thinkers, encouraging critical thinking, discussion, and a deep understanding of fundamental ideas that have shaped Western culture. Instead of teaching through textbooks or standardized tests, students analyze and debate original writings to develop intellectual skills, foster moral insight, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning. This approach aims to provide a well-rounded, thoughtful education grounded in the enduring ideas of great authors.
