Tuition, Discounts, and Scholarships

Virtual Reassurance Plan

Virtual Summer Classics is a new venture, and we admit newness has risk. At any time, if you would like to change your decision, you can. We ask that you do not take the decision lightly as we will be planning on you and in our small virtual world (slightly smaller than our small regular seminars) each person contributes.

Seminar Fees will be reduced 25%

Online seminar fees: $975 per regular seminar or $1,500 for the Science Institute.

Summer Classics Tuition

Tuition for Summer Classics 2020 online is $975 per individual seminar.

Tuition includes registration and other course materials, and optional evening weeknight events. Due to shipping delays and remote working conditions, providing books by mail is not efficient. You will be sent a syllabus with the text information so you may obtain your own copy of the text. If this is a hardship, please contact the office by email and we will work one on one with you.

Due to our program shift to online, balances are due by June 15. Those registering after June 15 require full payment at the time of registration.
