About Great Books: Great Books is a summer academic enrichment program, ideal for avid readers in middle and high school. At Great Books, students explore classic literature and modern selections in dynamic, discussion-based seminars, led by world-class educators and professors. Students are charged with the task of examining and debating the timeless questions like: What is the good life? What do I owe my neighbors? What must I do in the face of injustice? Through a Socratic method of teaching, Great Books educators spark active, class-wide discussion and help young people practice reflective reading and critical thinking, to recognize their own best thoughts, and to develop their ideas with care.
