I have always been intrigued with the classics, but there are few schools that teach directly from the classics. One such school is http://www.thomasaquinas.edu/. Brilliant! I want to go, but I certainly do not have the funds, and hey I am not gettin any younger. (cough 45). But hey, they have published their syllabus...http://www.thomasaquinas.edu/a-liberating-education/syllabus, and while I can't go and debate with the other students...I can read and study the books. Yeah I can do this. And since these are the classics I can find many of these books online. I call that a win!
