As I was reading the Sept. 13–19 issue of The Epoch Times, I was very interested in the article by Walker Larson on studying the classics, “Resources for Studying the Classics.” But I was even more surprised and pleased to see that he listed Memoria College as his first resource for those seeking to pursue this endeavor! You see, this past July, I graduated from Memoria College, part of the first graduating class of their Masters in the Great Books program. The last three years have changed my life.
That may not seem strange to those who know the transformative power of education, but the fact that I am 69 years old may cause some to take a second look. The program began in the summer of 2020, immediately after I had retired from a 16-year career teaching high school English and writing in a private Christian school. I was on Memoria Press’s mailing list and received an invitation to join their new college on this incredible journey. I had never taken online classes, so I decided to audit a five-week seminar and see what I thought.
