A School of Philosophy… in the classical tradition

Our introductory course program is called Philosophy for Daily Living, which consists of three mini courses (see below for information and upcoming dates). We also offer a wide variety of courses beyond the introductory course, all of which promote the enduring value of philosophy as “love of wisdom,” a profound search for truth and meaning. Philosophy is about improving ourselves, and changing the world we live in by “being that change.” Every activity at New Acropolis embodies this philosophical spirit.

“Philosophy is the best way to know how to live.”
