If
you would like to become an Academy student, please arrange for an interview
with Plato. Be ready to explain why you want to join the Academy and what
you hope to gain from the experience. The successful applicant will have
a strong desire to strengthen his or her understanding of truth and knowledge.
The
Academy does not charge fees. Instead, you will be expected to pass a
rigorous probationary period to be officially accepted.
Though
Athenian society does not encourage the education of women,
we believe education may be valuable for all people. For this reason,
women, as well as men, are admitted to the Academy.
If
you are interested merely in practical training for a position in
government or commerce, you should consider attending the lectures
given elsewhere by sophists
instead of applying to the Academy.
