The seminar will ask students to engage intensively with their environment and their peers. All students will participate together in the daily academic seminar, labor for 20 hours a week on the farm and campus, and work collaboratively to decide regulations, policies, and norms for the student body and the Arete Project itself. Their\u0026nbsp;mission is education towards its highest ends: the cultivation of wisdom, the living of a good life in thought and action, and selfless devotion to world and humanity.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 2017 program will run from June 18th to August 12th on their summer campus north of Asheville, North Carolina.\u0026nbsp;Tuition for the entire summer is only $500, and full and half scholarships are available for students with financial need. College credit may be available for the academic component of the program.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/areteproject.us2.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=01f5825ca18ae235af80b43a8\u0026amp;id=64c7680407\u0026amp;e=4d7f228cfd\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EApplications\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;are due by January 15th.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The Arete Project offers innovative, affordable educational programs designed to prepare young people for lives of thoughtful leadership and service to humanity."}],"uid":"33693","created_gmt":"2017-01-04 16:29:40","changed_gmt":"2017-01-04 16:29:40","author":"Kayleigh Haskin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2017-01-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2017-01-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"585468":{"id":"585468","type":"image","title":"Arete Project","body":null,"created":"1483547367","gmt_created":"2017-01-04 16:29:27","changed":"1483547367","gmt_changed":"2017-01-04 16:29:27","alt":"","file":{"fid":"223192","name":"0419cc29-2e9e-437e-b92c-fe7d43d05078.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/0419cc29-2e9e-437e-b92c-fe7d43d05078.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/0419cc29-2e9e-437e-b92c-fe7d43d05078.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":155561,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/0419cc29-2e9e-437e-b92c-fe7d43d05078.jpg?itok=AmrLAqGm"}}},"media_ids":["585468"],"groups":[{"id":"473211","name":"_OLD: School of History and Sociology Student Blog"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166849","name":"HSOC Blog"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
