A Place to Study serves those who. . . .

. . . those who study as persons seeking to form ourselves and learn liberally in the digital commons. We work through our first-person awareness of life, as we respond aspirationally with the ever-diversifying self-awareness of the seeker finding a way through life. In this sense, "Who are we?" evokes many responses, among them. . . .

. . . those who, through good fortune and hard effort, have benefited highly from formal instruction and enriching experience.
. . . those who, through adversity and inadvertence, have not benefited from formal instruction and enriching experience.
. . . those, advanced in age, having enjoyed the perks of the system, who worry that it can no longer nurture the values and abilities that drew us to it.
. . . those who feel consumed by the stresses of high consumption, and wish to assert, "Enough!"
. . . those who prefer the examined life to the packaged life, and those who want to start examining packaged lives that are failing to deliver on their promise.
. . . those who are young in years or spirit and who want to sustain consistent, meaningful purpose through the complexity of circumstance.
. . . those who see the admission of ignorance as the threshold of wisdom.
. . . those who recognize ourselves as spanning both advantages and adversities and work to realize our possibilities without taking pride in the advantages or feeling resentment at the adversities.

. . . those who see ourselves as unique variations on a common theme and wish to realize that uniqueness for the benefit of all.
