What if remembering what we read could become something meaningful—and even beautiful?
Join Dr. Angel Parham, classical educator and University of Virginia professor, for an engaging conversation about the centuries-old tradition of commonplace books—personal collections of memorable passages, ideas, and observations.
Discover how this simple, screen-free practice can help children and adults become more attentive readers, thoughtful writers, and engaged learners.
Each guest will receive a complimentary commonplace book to begin their own collection.

Reading one of Shakespeare’s plays is rewarding but can be a challenge. Reading it together in a group and sharing the experience makes the task easier and yields deeper insight.
Join Dr. Dan Davis in a close reading of a single play, Othello, over five consecutive weekly meetings. Each week, we will gather to discuss the act we have just read and preview the one ahead. Bring your ideas and questions to share with fellow readers, and experience firsthand the close-reading approach Brookfield Academy students use to master Shakespeare.
