Re-Humanizing the World
Learning from the Renaissance Today
The Renaissance Program identifies and studies the core ideas that gave birth to the Italian Renaissance—the most profound period of human and cultural transformation in Western history.
It then applies these ideas today through the development of innovative educational programs, to improve our individual lives and social institutions—to make them more vibrant, flourishing, satisfying, and effective.
Twelve Core Ideas
The Renaissance Program focuses on twelve core ideas that inspired the Renaissance and allowed it to emerge as a transformative cultural movement—the values of which inspired profound levels of excellence, creativity, and human flourishing.
Significantly, all of these ideas remain important and applicable today.
