Liberty Youth Academy is pleased to announce the return of the SCHOLAR CLASS, focusing on education for young adults ages 14-18 (and their parents)!!!! We are so lucky to have Rob Madsen returning as our Scholar Mentor. He comes to us with an English Degree and a love for Philosophy and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how it all fits together!
Scholar class overview:
The scholar class for the 2012-2013 school year will be focused primarily on philosophical theory throughout the ages with a specific focus on the perception of the individual over cultural boundaries ranging from Egyptian and far-eastern philosophies to more modern western thought.
Some theorists we will study include Plato, paying particular attention to his theory of the Ideal, Plato's cave and mimesis, and various other theorists like Descartes, specifically focusing on the cartesian subject, and Lacanian theory like the mirror stage and the theory of the Other. It will also incorporate inspired teachings ranging from Joseph Smith and Parley P. Pratt to the Dead Sea Scrolls and others.
The basic focus of the course will center on ancient and modern approaches to understanding the eternal makeup of human beings and their eternal potential.
Required materials will be provided and writing assignments will be due each week.
The cost of the course will be $100.00 per month, due the first week of the month and will include 12 weekly hour and a half long sessions.
Classes will begin Friday, September 14th and will be from 3:30-5:00 at Liberty Youth Academy. This is open to Homeschoolers, Public Schoolers and Parents are invited to attend with their students.
SEPTEMBER 14TH WILL BE THE FIRST CLASS, AND PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE FIRST HOUR, BUT ARE INVITED TO STAY AS LONG AS THEY WOULD LIKE.
