Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I JUST LEARNED OF THIS, CAN I START NOW?

YES! You can begin at any time, any week and still receive 14 weeks of learning Per the instructor, it is not necessary to attend the classes in order, which is why we are offering it through June; come when you can as it suits your schedule.

Q: Can kids attend?

A: YES!

Per Mr. Gibbs: “While at that age the concept can be difficult to digest, it will be appropriate enough that the child will be able to grasp some of the concepts and will begin to build a sound foundation when it comes to government and history.”

Q: Can I miss a class?

A: Instructor says to think of it as a “book club” as it is not stringently curriculum based but a wealth of knowledge of this document, its history and its purpose.
