Wisdom Academies is a Distance Education Provider under
the auspices of Aquinas Leadership School, LLC. It furnishes self-paced,
non-credit bearing college-level academic courses through self-study, video,
email communication with educational consultants.
Educational Consultants are scholars and industry experts in
their respective fields. Many hold, or have held, faculty positions at
colleges and universities or leadership positions in private industry and
government.
Courses offered are those that the late Father James V.
Schall would consider Another Sort of Learning (1988) in contemporary
times—uncommon commonsense wisdom courses—that study diverse subject
matters but show how they are integrated into the whole of knowledge by
highlighting first principles.
Wisdom Academies provides interested learners at all levels
the opportunity to learn uncommon commonsense wisdom from a variety of
perspectives not easily found in today’s universities and executive training
programs. Unlike other education providers, Wisdom Academies offers
one-on-one relationships between students and educational consultants who will
help guide their studies in the tradition of the medieval universities in the High
Middle Ages.
