Teach to the Text
Teach to the Text connects homeschooling families and adult learners with excellent teachers outside of schools, online academies, and year-long course curricula, facilitating a more contemplative approach to learning.
At Teach to the Text, students can study a Great Book under the guidance of an excellent teacher and have some fun along the way. No enrollment necessary!
How it works:
- Each text is treated as a self-contained, independent, unit study.
- Each text study includes a physical Study Guide, videos and quizzes that can be completed as an asynchronous course.
- Each study has been created by a real teacher with years of experience teaching that text in a traditional or online classroom.
-
Teachers remain accessible to their students via online Office Hours and/or can be contracted for additional services (including online classes) as needed.

Who better to study a book with than the person who wrote it? The Author Series brings authors and readers together in live, small, online classes, turning authors into teachers, readers into students, and texts into dialogues.
Here’s how it works:
- Students engage in a course of study based one particular text.
- The class meets regularly for online sessions.
- Students can ask questions on the material.
- The author usually does a presentation in each session followed by Q&A.
-
Great discussions are had by all and students walk away with a deeper understanding of the material.
