However, it is one matter to bemoan the closing of the American mind and the decline of cultural literacy, but it is quite another matter to create and promote solutions to our educational bankruptcy. The program has been used by teachers for in-service training and by adults for continuing education purposes. It is designed to help the student see the vast riches of enlightenment that can be found in appreciation of the Liberal Arts. The self-developmental thrust of Educate Yourself for Tomorrow goes beyond the conventional approach to the Humanities found in colleges and universities today. For example, at a fine university like Princeton, Plato is studied by reading and analyzing a selection of his dialogues.
Students discuss what they have read and are tested on what is remembered.
In contrast, our curriculum redirects the focus of study to the process of self-knowledge using Plato's symposium as a catalyst. Self-knowledge is the goal. Plato is the guide. To those who have had this inner-experience, it is a path to community service. It is the goal of true education to cultivate that which is the best within each of us.
