The Odyssey Project makes contemplation, the necessary precursor to action, possible. Students take classes in moral philosophy, literature, art history, American history, and writing and critical thinking. The most respected faulty from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and other Chicago colleges teach in The Odyssey Project. Classes are rooted in the classics and are taught as Socrates, thought best, through discussion not lectures.
Students also receive close and personal attention with their writing assignments.
Courses run from September through April at the Carole Robertson Center for Learning in Chicago s North Lawndale and Little Village communities. On-site childcare, books, transportation costs, and tutoring are provided for free. Students who satisfactorily complete the course receive six transferable units of credit from Bard College, a fully accredited, competitive, Liberal Arts College in New York.
