....My daughter has taken several workshops. She was thrilled and each class fed her intellectual curiosity in a wonderful way. My daughter is not easily thrilled, so that is a huge compliment! She was engaged by the subject matter, and the Barrs' enthusiasm definitely contagious. I highly recommend their classes! If you're a parent without a lot of inclination toward history, let the Barrs teach your kids! 
Elizabeth R., parent

I HIGHLY recommend Lukeion… My daughter started taking classes last year and has quickly become a devotee… the classes are fun and interactive... Give them a try... I can promise you: “You will not regret it!” Rita R., parent

The Lukeion Classroom Experience

  • Courses meet live online for one hour each session  

    • They are NOT chat rooms, discussion boards, conference calls or correspondence courses

    • They have all the benefits of a "brick and mortar" classroom, PLUS:

      • Come to class from your own computer.

      • Beautifully illustrated

      • no phone bills:  sound comes through your computer speakers

      • recordings are available when an absence is unavoidable

    • Ask questions in real time, get answers immediately

Two types of classes:

  • Workshops for a broad audience age 10 through adult.

    • 4 sessions, 1 hour each session (summer 4 consecutive days)

  • Semester courses and seminars are for those working at or above the high school level. 

    • Excellent preparation for college. 

    • 16-week courses meet one hour each session, once a week

    • assignments and quizzes completed outside of class time

 

ONLINE classes are not all the same

 

Online classes predates the development of high-speed internet. 
"Online class" today is applied to everything from a check list of resources, 
correspondence courses via email, chat rooms, recordings and any combination of media. 

 

All of our classes at the Lukeion Project are passionately taught,
live, real-time presentations using
cutting-edge technology developed for
collaborative international meetings.  Students from around the world come together
to see and hear well illustrated presentations, take virtual trips together to museum sites and news articles, collaborate, discuss and participate. 

 

Students attend from anywhere: 

  • Online weekly puzzles and games help students actively review and enjoy the material

  • Unique class web pages keep handouts, activities, calendars and more available 24/7

  • Strong visual presentations 

Semester courses are college-preparatory:

  • Courses develop time management skills, test taking strategies, research writing skills, note-taking, responsibility and much more

  • See how most prefer online classes at the college level.

    "We are not new to the Project but have thoroughly enjoyed our two year experience with you. We tell many people about your teaching. We will be with you for many years since the youngest guy here is only 10 and wanted to start Latin with you in the fall.  We will try to fit in a few history workshops in the summer and the fall.  Thanks for your great teaching and commitment to excellence!!  Debbie  W., mom

We  use one-way and occasionally two-way VoIP for our sessions:

A high speed internet (DSL, Cable, etc.) are required to attend one of our classes.  Dial-up will not work.
All operating systems will work, provided that they are reasonably up to date (for example, Windows 98 will not work). 
Both Mac and Windows will now work in all of our courses.
