The Academy

Learning for Everyday & Academic Fulfillment

If in a society there is no understanding of truth, no discipline for goodness, and no desire to create beauty, one must turn to the works of art and literature from which the contemporary society originated in order to rediscover all three. This is the basis of all education: the acquisition of past knowledge to guide oneself and one’s people through the darkest of times.
