Independent Study
Students spend an average of 4 to 5 hours a day doing assigned readings and synthesizing their learning through guided questions in the Insight Study Guide. The independent study aspect of the program, combined with the pace of the program (covering all of history in one year), require discipline and motivation to learn.
