    (c) 2012 The Rolling Acres School

    Our great books courses are 3-in-1 classes that integrate Literature, Philosophy, and Theology into a single reading sequence.

    • Students read primary works from the great authors of Catholic & Western Civilization and discuss them in a round-table format.
    • Courses are organized by historical period: 
        • Ancient & Classical Times
        • The Christian Age
        • Modern Times
        • The American Idea
        • Return to Tradition
    • The students learn to read, listen, speak, relish, and dispute the true, good, and beautiful things that "our tradition" has to offer.  
    • Home Study is available for Primer, 1, 2, and 3.
