Pyramid Project 2024/2025

Pyramid Project

Teaches you how to think, not what to think.

This curriculum was designed to help students learn to think critically, see the  world through the eyes of a mathematician or scientist, regardless of what their  life plans are, and ultimately to find truth. They learn to do this as they begin to  recognize patterns, ask questions, the right questions, and then square those questions and answers with the truths in their core books. This  class is geared towards slightly older teenagers. Usually students are at least 14–15 and have  experienced at least a year or two of scholar classes. 

It is a year-long class designed for two 15-week semesters, and meets together for 90 minutes per week.

FIRST SEMESTER BOOK LIST:
Carry on Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham
String, Straightedge, and Shadow by Julia E. Diggins
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
The Man Who Counted by Malba Tahan

The Student Manual can be purchased here.

In addition all students need to read this article before the first day of class: Read Like You Mean It – Anne Bean (1)

Day & Time:  Thursdays 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm Pacific Standard Time

This class is appropriate for students ages 14 and up.

NOTE: The stated price covers only one semester; however, since the course spans two semesters, to successfully complete the class, you must enroll for both semesters, either separately or together.
