Advance Reader Program

Welcome to the Old Western Culture Advance Reader Program! The program is fairly straightforward. Families, schools, or individuals may sign up for this program and receive materials from the OWC Companion project and related projects (like audiobooks) before they actually hit the market.

This will augment your current use of Old Western Culture at no additional cost, and provide us with the opportunity to ask your feedback along the way. We won’t do it often, and responses aren’t a requirement to remain in the program for Tier One, but feedback is greatly appreciated (especially typos!).

There are two tiers of the program.

Tier One: Classical Educator

Requirement: Own one year of the Old Western Culture curriculum, and commit to using it (and the Companion previews) within the next 18 months. The most common situation will be a family going through it for their school, but a teacher, parent, or blogger reviewing it apart from school is also acceptable.

Includes: Digital access throughout the year to various pre-publication Advance Reader Copy excerpts, media, audiobooks, features, etc. of the Old Western Culture Companion series.

Tier Two: Classical Influencer

Requirement: In addition to Tier One requirements, must demonstrate a platform, writing/reviewing skills, or marketing skills. We are NOT requiring a large follow count on social media, or even any social media presence, but rather someone with the skills to write and express their thoughts about the curriculum. An actual platform is a bonus.
Note: Limited to 30 approved applicants at this time.

Includes: Physical advance reader copies of Old Western Culture Companion books for review, in additional to all the digital access from Tier One.
