What makes Old Western Culture unique as a great books curriculum? It is not a textbook (though it is built around texts, and now a Companion!). It's not about "isms" (though those are covered). It's not about timelines (though those are included). It's not about dates (though those are also included). It's not about movements (though those are certainly discussed). It is focused on delighting in the story that is Western culture, passed down through stories and poems and histories in the great books. It is about inheritance. Rigor is there (in fact, it is among the most rigorous great books programs at the high school level). But married to delight, students and families often say it has more notes of rest than rigor. If you love the story, and know it is yours, then time flies as you labor in difficult texts. That's what Old Western Culture is known to produce in students. That's why parents love it (and use it themselves!). Bring the great books into your home, on your shelves, and around the dinner table: OldWesternCulture.com
