Halifax Humanities 101 is now accepting applications for its 2025/2026 class! We are once again offering a FREE 8-month humanities course to adults living on low incomes in HRM. The class is modelled on the Foundation Year Programme at the University of King’s College, and takes students on a tour through the philosophy, literature, art, theology, theatre, and political theory that has influenced the Western tradition, from Ancient Greece all the way up to the present day. No tests, no papers—just an opportunity to talk about fascinating books and big ideas with a community of curious, passionate people who love to read and learn. We provide free books, bus tickets, and child care subsidies as needed. You bring your love of learning—we provide the rest.
The deadline to apply is October 18, 2025.
