Would you please help me locate the web address of this innovative, cultural creative adult learning school that teaches online university-level classes for self-knowledge?
Hope someone can help me find this…this school had classes that you could take online, not for credit, but just for self-knowledge. Lots of the instructors were from top universities and most of the courses were in specialized subjects….things you might not be able to find in the regular curriculum at a university. Many of the instructors were experts in their fields or noted writers and authors.
The classes were amazingly interesting and diverse….from art history to ancient archaeology (but with a twist, much more specialized and/or unusual.) It was a bit like the “New School” but online.
I lost the web address…and I hope someone out there knows the organization I am talking about…thanks so much!

The teaching Company I don’t know if they have online classes, but they sell classes on DVD, and they’re excellent! I’ve bought quite a few. They’re university-grade lectures but no exams or credit given. Just watch the video and learn for your own pleasure…
