About Fasano Academy
At the core of Fasano Academy are the teachings of Joseph Fasano, writer and professor, who holds degrees in philosophy and poetry from Harvard University and Columbia University. After nearly 20 years of teaching at the University level, Fasano concluded that the educational experience in many Institutions had been compromised by factors that had little to do with the enlightenment and betterment of each student as a unique human being. Fasano's teaching method, based on Listening, Radical Attention to the Individual, and Interdisciplinary Synthesis, has helped countless people of all ages find their voices, becoming co-creators in the human experience.
