The Catholic College Summer Program – Schola
The beauty and wonder of true leisure.
Wisdom and Foolishness
Schola is a week-long summer program for high school students; we will read classic works of philosophy and literature, engage in group discussions with Honors College faculty, and experience the local culture and recreation of the beautiful Charlotte, NC, region.
The Schola program primarily takes place on the Belmont Abbey College campus; we will also take excursions in the nearby area. Students will build friendships together, through conversations with peers and professors; enjoy time to relax, join in the daily prayer life on campus, and pursue outdoor activities. By the end of the week in our Belmont, NC Catholic college summer program, students will have grown in wisdom, critical thinking, and camaraderie.
UPCOMING DATES:
