Trinity’s Great Books Program is modeled after programs found at the University of Chicago, the University of Notre Dame, and St. John’s College in both Annapolis and Santa Fe. The program is student-driven and inquiry-based. It aims to explore the human experience and its complexity through classic works of literature. Students develop their worldview and critical thinking by asking questions, formulating and sharing their opinions, and supporting their ideas with textual evidence.
Trinity’s program uses well-crafted, multicultural selections that connect to our established curriculum while offering enrichment opportunities and the chance for mentoring. Our optional program features faculty-sponsored titles. Students choose their book from the selections below and then work with a faculty member over the semester for a personalized learning experience. Students may earn half a credit with the completion of this program, recognition at graduation, and a special designation on their transcript.
“I have read Pride and Prejudice and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes through Trinity’s Great Books program. Participating in this program has allowed me to continue to read and digest modern media in a purposeful manner to understand better the past, present, and future.” — Kennedy Paul ’26
