All of its classes and courses have been designed to push its student to the constant consideration of the moral, the aesthetic and the epistemological as well as offering introductory and specialised vocational knowledge.

    At the Collegium of Liberal Practice, the pursuit of truth is believed to be what distinguishes disciplinary and institutional knowledge from everyday knowledge, whether, depending on the field of study, that truth is considered to be subjective or objective.

  • At the Collegium of Liberal Practice, the construction of a diverse, trustworthy and quality teaching body is as paramount as the student selection. Thus, all staff has gone through a preparatory course prior to starting their educational journey. Focused on the re-insertion of the subjects of the philosophy of education, the sociology of education and epistemology of education in professional formation, this initiation ensures that our students are being taught, advised and guided by true savants in their fields and practice.

From Our Students

  • "I joined this school because I didn't know whether I truly wanted to go into finance. Thanks to the 6 months I spent here, I have now chosen to study Physics which I find much more challenging and interesting."

    Emily, 19 (Class of 2026)

  • “I felt very scared at the idea of joining university so young. This course gave me the perfect in between and provided the perfect support structure to learn to live in the city alone before starting higher education."

    John, 18 (class of 2025)

  • “I was quite bored of the subjects taught at high school and therefore thought that university wasn't for me. Thank to the course, I am now about to start my bachelors in architecture!"

    Mike, 20 (class of 2025)

  • “I always thought I wanted to pursue a career in music performance. Thanks to the course, I've realised that wouldn't be a good fit and am now studying film production!"
