Summer Programs

Return of the High School Teacher Program in Summer 2024!

Mercer University has long been known for its innovative Great Books program, a seven-course sequence which encourages close reading and discussion of some of the great works of Western Civilization.  Now, we're offering a program for high school teachers who would like to expose their students to Great Books content and pedagogy.  We were thrilled to relaunch the program in the summer of 2024 with a group of 20 fantastic teachers.  In 2025, we are again offering the campus program for high school teachers.  It will be held June 8-13.  The program is titled, "Novus Ordo Seclorum: The Creation of the American Republic."  Find out more about this unique opportunity for teachers in History, U.S. Government, and Literature.
