“Reading the Great Books had done more for my mind than all the rest of the academic pursuits…it is the best education for the faculty as well as for the students; the use of original texts is an antidote for survey courses and fifth-rate textbooks; and it constitutes by itself, if properly conducted, the backbone of a liberal education.” - Dr. Mortimer J. Adler
The Great Books Homeschool Program is a nursery-though-Ph.D. curriculum for home education. It is complete – including all subjects, books, guides and tests needed, for all grades. Optional services for enrolled students include grading, transcript maintenance, online literature discussion classes and the finest online resources (such as Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Oxford Dictionary).
The Great Books Academy in a joint collaboration with Harrison Middleton University, an accredited, online Great Books university, now offer homeschool students a seamless path from kindergarten all the way to seven bachelor’s degrees (BA or BS), eight Masters (MA or MS) and two doctoral degrees (Ph.D.). Harrison Middleton University is a great books, great ideas, great conversations, distance-learning university that offers undergraduate and graduate education in the humanities with concentrations in imaginative literature, natural sciences, philosophy and religion, social science, jurisprudence, and education. Harrison Middleton University is accredited as a degree granting institution by DETC.
Through a unique agreement with the Great Books Academy, Harrison Middleton University accepts all 48 hours of our ACE (American Council on Education college-credit recommended) Great Books Program hours towards completion of their seven bachelors, eight Masters and two doctoral programs. That’s 48 out of 120 college-level hours, which is 40% of the hours needed for a bachelor’s degree. That saves 1 1/2 years of college time already completed while homeschooling at ages 14-18.

"If you’re in the GB program right now, cherish this time! I really believe that you will never have another class quite as good as this one. Even though I have some very excellent teachers at …..college (which everyone should come to, by the way lol)… none of them will be able to compare to what Mr. Bertucci, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Redpath and Dr. Hancock have given me, the ability to think and ask questions. I know it seems like a fairly common thing to have, but frankly, it is grossly underdeveloped in many people. Just know how lucky you all are to have this, and I hope you all enjoy every moment of it as much as I did."
