We often hear that the humanities and the Liberal arts are useless. Our society elevates vocations that are viewed as “efficient” and “practical”—such as STEM or business degrees—while great books degrees and curriculums are seen as luxuries.
As a consequence, students in education today are losing the habits of awe, curiosity, and contemplation that help us become fully human and lead meaningful lives.
Why has our modern system of education become obsessed with the practical and technical to the detriment of a contemplative view of education?
It’s time to recover the role of Beauty in education, to show how a liberal arts education can form us as integral persons—mind, body, and soul.
Join us on April 27th, noon est to discover the Love of Learning with Margarita Mooney Suarez of the Scala Foundation, Alexandra Hudson of Civic Renaissance and Anya Leonard of Classical Wisdom.

Join us for FREE online on Wednesday, April 27, NOON EST.
