“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.” - John Paul II, Fides et Ratio.
Inspired by John Paul II and great Catholic educators, The Honors Institute is a four-year educational program which provides a truly liberal education through close analysis, clear exposition, and friendly discussion of great texts (Christian, classical, and modern). Prominent in this endeavor are the works of great theologians, spiritual writers, philosophers, poets, scientists, and master scholars. In a unique series of courses, seminars, and guided independent study, students learn to listen to authors, teachers and each other with what The Rule of St. Benedict calls “the ear of your heart.”
