TOO MANY BOYS REMAIN BOYS.
“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
- Abolition of Man by CS Lewis
The mission, then, of the Logos Tutoring Program is to partner with parents in order to fashion young men with chests; chests that are filled with the courage needed to live within the truth and the attention needed to love their place and all of its inhabitants.
Our Focus
In Mind
The Program guides the boys through a robust curriculum of exceptional books. Together, tutors and boys commit to seeking the truth by cultivating the arts of reading, writing, listening, and speaking through communal inquiry into some of the greatest stories ever told.
In Heart
The Program is structured in order to afford an opportunity for deep friendships to grow such that, as iron sharpens iron, each boy will sharpen the other. No man is an island; indeed, friendship is one of the greatest gifts a man can receive or give. The Program recognizes that Love is supreme and therefore seeks to foster a place where it can flourish.
In Body
The Program believes in the necessity of a whole and healthy body in order for a fully integrated man to emerge. Therefore, a critical element of the Program is geared towards developing skills and having adventures in the wild that enhance the maturation of a young man’s body.
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
