What is humanities education?
Great question! The "humanities" are generally thought of as a collection of classes that include fine arts, history, culture, literature and music. These are classes that teach us what it's like to be human and they explore the human experience (thus, HUMANities).

What does "Class Libre" mean?
Our name is also a subtle reference to verse libre or “free verse,” a form of poetry that broke from formal, traditional uses of meter and rhyme and tended instead to sound more like natural speech. Similarly, Class Libre desires to liberate humanities teachings from being primarily in the environment of the traditional, formal classroom.
