Join the Great Works Academy!
Thanks to great works, you will learn to get to know yourself and the world in a completely new way.Let yourself be carried away by the story and build your critical thinking, concentration and the ability to reason intelligently.
We read worthwhile stories, listen to great music, discover significant paintings, and watch quality films.
Thanks to this, we build friendships, gain a better understanding of the world and ourselves, learn to communicate our opinions, and seek answers to important questions.

Being in the Academy means experiencing true education.

"I was very interested in the information about the Academy of Great Works for high school students. I am the mother of an almost 16-year-old daughter. The Academy of Great Works seems to me to be a wonderful idea because it is precisely through beauty in art that one can explain the truths of life, the meaning of life, and teach how to think, ask questions, and make decisions.
It appears to be a fantastic counterbalance to what they see around them daily, experience at school, and receive from the media and social networks. There must be strength in the circle of peers, friends, and teachers whom they respect. I wish I had a similar opportunity once!"
