St. John's College

St. Johns College is a co-educational, four-year liberal arts college known for its distinctive "great books" curriculum. St. John's is a single college located on two campuses, one in Annapolis, Maryland and another in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The campuses share an identical curriculum (changes must be approved by both halves of the faculty) and a single governing board. Each campus is limited to well under 500 students, and the faculty-student ratio is 1 to 8. The all-required course of study is based on the reading, study, and discussion of the most important books of the Western tradition. There are no majors and no departments; all students follow the same program. Students study from the classics of literature, philosophy, theology, psychology, political science, economics, history, mathematics, laboratory sciences, and music. No textbooks are used. The books are read in roughly chronological order, beginning with ancient Greece and continuing to modern times. All classes are discussion-based. There are no class lectures; instead, the students meet together with faculty members (called tutors) to explore the books being read.

@summerwithmike Yes, it's a real college. I wish I had known about it when I was younger. I think it's probably the perfect school for me!
