well-being of humanity.
St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland was chartered in 1784 upon a most liberal plan for the benefit of youth
of every religious denomination. In 1937 the New Program, under which the college still operates, was
instituted. Under it, we help our students learn to ask fundamental questions and practice thoughtfulness in
public. We introduce them to the textual tradition of reason that illuminates such central features of modern life
as democracy and technology, as well as to the literary and musical tradition of the West. We are committed to
the use of a list of great books that is both fairly stable and under continual review. These are books agreed to
be excellent, to form a coherent sequence, and to raise most cogently questions we want our students to
consider. We foster literacy in three kinds of texts: verbal, mathematical, and musical. We want our students to
develop the intellectual virtues of courage in inquiry, caution in forming opinions, candor about their ignorance,
open attentiveness to the words of their colleagues, industry in preparation, and meticulousness in verbal
translations as well as in mathematical demonstrations. We give our students the experience of living in a
community of learning imbued with attitudes of consideration and respect that foster moral virtues appropriate to
their future lives as citizens. We think that the college has a wider mission in contributing to the invigoration of
American education by giving help to other institutions that ask for it, by encouraging our students to become
teachers, and by providing to a wide constituency occasions for actual learning in the spirit and through the
materials of our program.

Thomas Aquinas College has a single mission: the liberal education of students according to their natural
powers of reason illuminated by the light of the Catholic Faith. This mission is the end by which all means are
judged – from customs of community life to curricular decisions and faculty appointments, to building design and
forms of governance. +++
To accomplish its mission, the College has a single, substantially unvarying program with no majors, minors, or
electives. It consists in an integrated and orderly study of the liberal arts and sciences, beginning with the
fundamental arts of the trivium and quadrivium, proceeding through the natural and political sciences, and
culminating in theology. The College achieves its mission chiefly through reflective consideration of seminal
questions raised in classical texts. These texts – often referred to as the “Great Books” – are selected by the
faculty under the guidance of the Catholic tradition. In accordance with this tradition, the works of St. Thomas
Aquinas occupy a preeminent position in the College’s curriculum. +++
Classes are seminars and tutorials: groups of fifteen to twenty students discussing the readings under the
guidance of a faculty member. A laboratory program provides students laboratory experience in addition to the
reading of primary texts. Tutorials, seminars, and laboratories are complemented by a lecture and concert
series. This offers students an opportunity to witness and discuss the scholarly and artistic works of the wider
community. +++
