Scrivium: Interactive Courses

Here you'll find an interactive education on the world's greatest books and minds.

Mindful reading is your sanctuary from doom-scrolling and brain rot. Research shows that ten minutes of active learning is worth an hour of passive consumption.

We pack a complete Ivy League semester into every course so that you, as C.S. Lewis puts it, can 'feel the sea‑breeze of the centuries blow through your mind.'

## Interactive courses on great books

- Greek & Roman Mythology: Meet the gods, heroes, and strange creatures of Greek and Roman myth, and learn how their stories shaped later art, literature, and ways of imagining fate, love, and power.

- My Favorite Passage: Sit with scholars and writers as they unpack a single passage that has stayed with them—how it works on the page, why it mattered in their lives, and what it can teach you about story.

- Self Trust: Study how thinkers and artists learned to hear their own voice, then use reflection, reading, and small, real-world experiments to strengthen your sense of judgement and trust your intuitions.

- Homer's Odyssey: From this iconic epic, learn resourcefulness, good fortune, and how to take a punch; study the art of xenia, a new way to relate to those Zeus puts in our path.

- The Iron-Willed: Follow men and women of iron who bent events to their will, and draw out the habits of mind, discipline, and resolve that made them formidable.

## Your intellectual sanctuary

- Read or rot: Doom-scrolling is brain rot. Forget "the news of the day and problems of the hour." Scrivium is your intellectual sanctuary for deep study and contemplation.

- Feed your genius: The greatest minds in history were feverishly active readers. They wrote in the margins, practiced copywork, and wrote about what they read. Scrivium makes it easy to build these habits of greatness.

- Read mindfully: Mindful reading is an art. Audiobooks and podcasts go in one ear and out the other. Research shows that ten minutes of active learning is worth over an hour of passive consumption.

- Keep great company: Scrivium puts you in daily conversation with the greatest minds in history. These minds will raise your life to a braver pitch. Remember, "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
