Book Clubs

Guiding 11th and 12th grade students to achieve academic excellence, foster leadership skills, and confidently prepare for collegiate success.

Book Clubs

Book clubs are a unique opportunity for Solomon Fellows to read a complete work under the guidance of an excellent instructor, as we encourage our students to begin building their personal bookshelves with great texts of the Jewish and Western canons.
 
We are proud to present the Fall 2026 book club lineup below. The book clubs will meet five times on Zoom, beginning the week of October 18 through December 15. Each book club meeting is 75 minutes.
