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.
