Some courses are born spontaneously simply by a consensus of participants who chose their specific course or activity; Our stand-by curriculum of courses offered by community members includes more than 100 written high school and college level seminars and activities that address college entrance requirements; modification to fit a particular group of individuals is routine. In addition, students can also take on-line courses for credit. Students can develop their own unique course to fulfill their personal interests and receive credit based on their presentation to the larger community; a tested procedure for doing this successfully exists.
The goal for these courses and activities is not knowledge itself, but learning the process of how the to become an independent learner. These include the skills of information gathering, direct communication, wide reading, reflective reading; technology, and original research; articulate, persuasive writing; artistic demonstrations; drawing conclusions from logical thinking; and giving oral, written, or artistic presentations. Become an independent learner assumes as well, developing the motivation and ability to follow up a course with further individual study, research, or original experiments.
