Great Books Summer Programs at Thomas More College

The Great Books Summer Programs held at Thomas More College present a comprehensive educational experience rooted in the classical liberal arts. These camps guide rising high school seniors in exploring influential texts and ideas from Western culture under the mentorship of knowledgeable faculty. Beyond academics, the program enriches students with excursions throughout New England, exposing them to nature, history, and coastal beauty, while integrating Catholic cultural elements such as daily Mass and exposure to music and arts. Participants engage in rigorous discussions and activities including debates and theatrical performances, designed to cultivate intellectual curiosity and moral formation. With inspiration drawn from St. Thomas More’s life and legacy, this summer program not only sharpens the mind but also fosters virtues aligned with faith, making it a profound opportunity for young scholars to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially.
