What are we doing?
This blog is a supplement to Saint Agnes School's Senior Capstone Seminar, a course in which senior students have elected to read some of the greatest books of the Catholic intellectual tradition and discuss them in a Socratic seminar format. This blog will attempt to track our conversations throughout the year as well as post articles and news of related interest to the content of the course.

Welcome back! Saint Agnes kicks off 2012-13 school year with a bang...
Welcome back to you, students, parents and friends of Saint Agnes School and the Capstone Seminar!
Saint Agnes is blessed to report that enrollment continues to rise (up 5% from last year) and we were recently named by the Cardinal Newman Society as one of the "Top 50" Catholic High Schools in the nation!
The Capstone Seminar is also stronger! We have more students in the course this year and students have started the year off with excellent conversations.
This semester we will read:
"On the Reading of Old Books" - C.S. Lewis (NOW DONE)
De Incarnatione (On the Incarnation) - St. Athanasius (NOW DONE)
The Confessions of Saint Augustine (Currently reading)
The Rule of Saint Benedict
The Consolation of Philosophy - Boethius
Proslogium / Fides Quaerens Intellectum (Faith Seeking Understanding) - St. Anselm
"Treatise on Law" (from the Summa) - St. Thomas Aquinas
