Feltre

If you wish to write better, to think better, to present your ideas better, Feltre is the place for you. For 25 years, Feltre has been offering classes in the traditional Liberal Arts of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, as well as one-on-one instruction, and onsite courses in writing and public speaking. These courses are open to anyone wishing to write more precisely, think more critically, and persuade more effectively. At Feltre we also offer philosophy courses. Through discussion of readings by the great writers and thinkers from the classical past into the present, students consider the fundamental questions that confront us as human beings. Faculty led discussions encourage a lively and civilized debate of ideas, leading to a student’s ability to read, reason, and think more effectively to the end of deeper personal insight and more thoughtful civic engagement. Feltre (School) was founded in 1992 by a group of Northwestern University Alumni to preserve and promote the traditional Liberal Arts. We provide a thoughtful place for adults who wish to learn by engaging in a rigorous discussion of ideas with other inquisitive people.
