Apply to study with The Catherine Project

In addition to our Core Program, we offer a variety of courses focused on particular great books, ancient languages, and other related subjects. These courses offer opportunities to focus one's learning in a welcoming intellectual community.

Summer 2026

May 18 - September 13, 2026

Applications Open Deadline: April 03, 2026

Reading Groups

In a reading group, you choose one or more great books to study and meet regularly for discussions with a group of 8-15 peers. Discussions are led by an experienced reader and guide in conversation in accordance with our discussion guidelines and core principles.

Intensive Reading Groups

Intensive reading groups are an opportunity to go deeper with one's own thinking and the thinking of others. The size of the group is smaller, allowing each reader more conversational space, and readers are asked to write and share short weekly reflection papers.

Subject Tutorials

Subject tutorials offer focused study in a particular discipline or topic with a small group of dedicated readers, guided by a group leader with deep expertise in the subject.
