The Junior Fellows
The Junior Fellows Formation Program provides a two-year experience of living intellectual fellowship in the course of directed study in the traditional seven liberal arts as the foundations of a life devoted to wisdom. The program includes annual symposia, weekly online meetings, and small group mentoring. The cost of the program is $2500 per year, which includes all expenses except travel. Our next cohort will start in August 2025 with a symposium on Plato’s Republic at the Augustine Institute campus in St. Louis.
Fellows will contribute to the work of the Boethius Institute through blogging about their experience, and by preparing in collaboration with a Senior Fellow a contribution to the advancement of the education renewal.
The cost of the program is $2500 per year, which includes all expenses except travel. The program will begin with a 2-day symposium on the Republic of Plato, August 8-9, at the Augustine Institute, Florissant, Missouri.
To apply, please send your curriculum vitae or resume and a cover letter explaining your interest in the program to office@boethiusinstitute.org, along with any other materials you would like to supply to support your application. The deadline to apply is June 30, 2025. Please allow 4-6 weeks for a response and information about the next steps in the process.
Testimonials
As I have worked this year to learn about and understand more deeply the liberal arts of grammar, logic, rhetoric, and geometry, I have been changed as a teacher while my vision for a classical education center has become more focused. Delving into Latin and Greek grammar, as well as exploring and contemplating what language is and how it communicates thought, worked with our study of the rhetoric of famous speeches to give me a deeper love and reverence for the beauty of language itself. Logic and geometry, on the other hand, have challenged me with their precision, and this spills over into my teaching; I find my thought becoming more orderly, my questions to students more precise.

[Thank] you for everything you have done for me and for your generosity in allowing me to participate in the Institute. A large part of the curriculum [I designed for teachers] was born from the Fellowship studies. [The teachers] are enthusiastic about the project. They are also grateful to the Institute, because I try to transmit, even with my limitations, what I learn from you. I want to ensure that the fruits of these studies can spread throughout Brazil.

Thank you also for this wonderful fellowship. I never imagined I’d get the opportunity to discover the liberal arts without going back to school! It’s truly been a blessing and it has gotten me on the path to further learning.
