The Book Club & Lecture Series highlights our extraordinary faculty, provokes thoughtful discussions on books and topics drawn largely from the SFS curriculum, and raises money for financial aid.
We have included an array of subjects and topics from which to choose. Each $500 subscription allows you to pick the six “classes” you want to attend. If you would like to participate in additional classes, each added class will be $100. Each class is limited to 40 members. Light food and drink will be provided. Each discussion takes place from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
With each class, you will have the chance to see what it is like to be your student at SFS. Registration is closed for 2012-2013. For questions, please contact events@sidwell.edu or call 202-537-8110.
