"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is what I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now.”
C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
The wellspring of wonder needs to be continually refreshed, and we have a natural instinct to return to the springs that we know can water our hearts well. It is my goal as an educator to continue to provide new experiences that take you to new texts, new places, new ways of plumbing the depths of the beautiful and the mysterious.
And now, there is an easier way to stay connected with your deepest wellsprings of wonder: our new membership program. Memberships allow you to take as many courses as you want, and to share the joy of discovery with others.
Memberships run for 12 months, providing access to four full terms of courses. During that time, you may sign up for unlimited courses. At our current average course costs, one need only take 3 courses in a calendar year before the membership more than pays for itself!

Memberships are non-transferable.
No. If you want to take Latin courses, you will need to pay for them as normal or add the Latin Package. The standard alumni discount would apply to any a-la-carte Latin courses.
Junius Johnson Academics basically runs on a 4 term / year schedule: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Whenever you start your membership, it will become active with the next round of courses: whichever ones haven't begun yet. Then it will run through four complete terms. So a membership purchased in April would begin with the summer term, and run through the end of the next year's Spring term.
