Great Books Summer Program: ONLINE

Readers. Writers. Thinkers. Leaders.

Winterbreak Online Program

Fun and interactive enrichment that’s accessible anywhere. These live online classes bring the best of Great Books Summer Program to you anywhere in the world.

Led by the same distinguished faculty as our on-campus programs, this is nothing like “online school.” The medium may be digital, but that’s where the similarities end. This is world-class enrichment – interactive and full of opportunities for social connections and fun!

Students experience college-style seminars, engage in lively discussion, and enjoy summer camp fun with other literary-minded students. Incredible mentoring from our talented program assistants helps students connect socially and thrive academically.  Amazing guest speaker events, open mic night, and hangout time too!

Give your child an exceptional learning experience!

Great Books & Big Ideas Online will explore world literature, the classics, philosophy, and more.  Writers like Sophocles, Homer, Shakespeare, Italo Calvino, Elizabeth Bishop, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Derek Walcott are just some of the many who are likely to be included in this summer’s readings.
