While I missed a lecture at St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn for free byMichelle Bernard from The Bernard Center, I heard it was  really good, so wanted to encourage US All to look into her website. Post a comment here if you like about what you learn, or I will circle back with more details.

St. Joseph's has some great affordable summer course offerings for high school juniors and seniors, as may many higher education schools or even high schools and other venues.
