What Our Students Say

Soon after starting the Philosophies of East and West classes I realized that philosophy isn't just about accumulating facts — it's about looking inside of myself and growing as a person. My experiences at Acropolis have shown me the true meaning of friendship.

For me, philosophy is not about the dusty old way of the philosophers of yester years. It's about making it practical and real in today's crazy world. Acropolis Boston has brought the cultural and volunteer elements much needed to the philosophical education we need today. Come check us out!

I never realized that philosophy could be so practical. The Introduction course offered at Acropolis Boston was very impactful and helped me sort out the essentials in my life. I would recommend this course for anyone who is serious about living a meaningful life.

Garrett Garrett

Highly recommended. The combination of classes, volunteer activities, and spending time with people trying to make the world a better place has inspired ME to be better. I didn't know how transformative this philosophical perspective could be and I'm so glad I found Acropolis Boston!
