Whether you're a lover of literature, a member of the school or parish community, or simply looking to expand your understanding of classical works, the SJA Classical Book Club is the perfect place for you.

We meet monthly throughout the year to study a seminal work of literature, coming together to share our insights and thoughts on the chosen text. The discussions, led by the SJA Parent Volunteer Corps, are open to all adult readers, regardless of whether you have children enrolled at St. Jerome Academy.

Our mission is to delve into texts that inform the curriculum at SJA, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation of these works. Don't worry if you haven't had a chance to finish reading or listening to the selection for the night - our discussions are open and inclusive to all levels of engagement.

So join us for a night of enlightening conversation, accompanied by refreshments, as we explore the timeless beauty of classic literature.

Don't hesitate to contact Jane Murphy or Taryn Okuma for more information using the webform below.
