 Augustine
College offers an opportunity for dedicated students to study the
basic foundations of Western intellectual and cultural tradition,
studied as Hebrew and Greek thought modified by the Church. Our aim
is to explore at an advanced level the foundational writers, works,
concepts and theories on which Christian civilization depends with
academically capable and committed young men and women.
The faculty and board of Augustine College are committed Christians,
many of whom have been reading and praying together for several years.
Students, clergymen and laymen have joined this study group, forming
what the medievals called a 'collegium', that is, a group which reads
and reflects together. Out of that fellowship has grown a deepening
awareness of the need for more young people to have a similar opportunity.
Augustine College is a response in faith to that calling.
Each student may expect to benefit from a year of close contact with
senior scholars from various disciplines. This is an advantage that
undergraduates rarely receive even at the most distinguished universities.
Ideally this one-year programme would provide concrete gains in knowledge,
such as a reading knowledge of Latin and familiarity with some key
texts and transitions in the history of Christian civilization. More
generally, it also provides a coherent picture, not a piecemeal collage,
of the story of history as it unfolds in music, art and literature,
in theology and philosophy, and in mathematics and science.

Summer Conference | The Roots of Modern Medicine
 In
this conference we will be looking at the rise of applied science
particularly in medicine as part of the overall, stunning growth
of scientific knowledge. "Scientism" also appears and
the word "science" is inappropriately used to describe
Marxism, for example, as scientific socialism. Our ethics, our literature
and our arts show the same consequences of replacing God with rationalism
and individualism. Only in physics is a less mechanistic understanding
beginning to appear.
Student for a Day
 One
day each year Augustine College invites high-school students (from
schools and home-schools) to attend lectures, talk with students
and staff, and get an idea of what the Augustine College experience
has to offer.
