Interesting to see the deep skepticism in the comments.
I attended St John's College - which is probably as close as a "real" school can get to the Catherine Project - and loved every minute. Grades were not given, and there were no professors or lectures.
Seeing criticism about the business model and lack of tests, worry about educational fads, etc, is missing the point, in my opinion.
Consider the possibility that a group of adults may want to engage in rich and historically important works of thought, but have no interest in the trappings of educational institutions, with their tuition, grades, etc. Like a bible study, but without the bible. If you feel threatened by this, ask yourself why.
