What kind of person are you becoming?
A free five-week conversation about courage, temperance, justice and prudence, with short readings and a genuinely honest room.
New this term. Reviews from students and parents appear here once families have taken it.
Offered free because it is the course we most want families to try. Students read short passages from Aristotle, the Proverbs, and a handful of modern essays, and talk about what they are actually like.
Every meeting of this class stands on its own. Nothing in week six assumes week five, so a student can join in the middle, take the four weeks that fit around a busy month, and stop when they want to. There is no catching up to do, because there is nothing to be behind on.
That is also why there is no grade here and no such thing as an incomplete. The record keeps what actually happened: the meetings attended live and the recordings watched. A student who came to three meetings has a record of three meetings, not a failure.
Week 1
Aristotle on becoming what you repeatedly do.
Week 2
The mean between cowardice and recklessness.
Week 3
Appetite, attention, and the phone in your pocket.
Week 4
Giving what is owed, in small things.
Week 5
The virtue that governs the others.

These describe how this instructor has been trained, reviewed with educators and accessibility specialists. They are not a diagnosis and not a marketing claim.
Students and parents review separately, on different questions, and the two aggregates are never blended. Every review is verified and moderated.

Reviews from students are published as “Student, age 13”, never with a full name. Photo and short video reviews are supported and moderated before they appear.
