The Freedom to Flourish. Knox's academic philosophy is based on the idea that knowledge—acquiring it, analyzing it, using it, creating it—is a path to freedom and independence. As a liberally educated person, you'll be free to question assumptions and understand accepted truths, as well as create new knowledge and ideas of your own.

Learning at Knox takes place through a process of guided independence. Following a personal educational plan you'll develop with your faculty advisor, you choose classes from Knox's diverse courses of study and distinctive programs.
