"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them." -Joseph Brodsky
As part of their studies at Excalibur Classical Academy, scholars are given personal copies, or “keep books” of some of the classics read in their courses. It is the hope of the faculty and staff at Excalibur Classical Academy that these books will form the core of the scholars’ own classical library that will continue to grow as they engage in lifelong learning.
Scholars are typically given two keep books per year through their elementary school years, and up to two books per class during their secondary studies. All keep books are selected from a special curated list and are given to every scholar who attends the academy.
Here's a sample of keep books per grade:
