What to Expect

Boyfriend Girlfriend School is an in-person, structured class environment where we talk about our lives as men and women and how to become better people.

Our 5 week courses feature 3-hour sessions led by a main instructor and guest teachers who bring special expertise. Students maintain a personal journal throughout the course to deepen reflection and apply insights in daily life.

Classes are intentionally small—limited to 12 students—to help you build community and to give everyone a chance to speak at length. We leave screens behind, using only pen, paper, and our voices to keep everyone fully engaged and actively participating.

The course catalog paints a picture of what you will learn.

Class Format

Each weekly session includes:

  • Assigned reading discussion
  • Thematic presentation
