Ancient languages
Latin and Ancient Greek are approached through grammar, reading, speech, and direct engagement with original texts.
Study at Aeterna
A serious education begins with a serious question.
Aeterna is preparing a formal pathway for students drawn to the Great Books, the liberal arts, and the languages of antiquity.
Current status
The admissions pathway is in formation.
Applications are not currently open through this website. Aeterna has not yet published cohort dates, program format, prerequisites, fees, scholarships, or a selection calendar.
We would rather be precise than premature. Prospective students may send an admissions inquiry now; the Institute can then respond with the information presently available.
The intellectual ground
What study is built around
The published curriculum establishes these areas of study. Practical program details will be added here when they are settled.
The liberal arts
The Trivium, Quadrivium, and Great Books provide the intellectual architecture of the curriculum.
Considered inquiry
Seminar questions test propositions, expose assumptions, and make space for a more exact account of the truth.
The next honest step
Register your interest.
Tell us what you hope to study and what draws you to Aeterna. An inquiry is not an application and creates no obligation on either side.
