Philosophy

Seminar Format

This summer, the Priory is offering "enrichment seminars" for all interested Middle School and High School students. Each seminar is designed to be a fun, engaging, and stress-free way of exploring a range of fascinating topics with some of your favorite Priory teachers. There will be no grades, no tests, and no homework. Instead, each seminar will offer illuminating conversations and novel activities that spark students to think about the world in new ways. For 99% of the seminars, all that is required is an internet connection and a positive attitude!

Seminars will begin at three different times each day. Session A starts at 10am, Session B at 12pm, and Session C at 2pm.
