DEAR SOPHIA,

YOU MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE GREEK SCHOOL NAMED PYTHAGORAS. THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL IS AS FOLLOWS:

The school of Pythagoras, established in the 6th century BCE in Croton (southern Italy), was a secretive, quasi-religious, and philosophical community focused on mathematics, mysticism, and strict communal living. Members, including women, followed rigid rules—such as a potential five-year vow of silence and vegetarianism—believing that reality was fundamentally based on numbers

TODAY, ANYONE WHO ATTENDS A SCHOOL NAMED PYTHAGORAS SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE BASIS OF THE NAME IS. HOWEVER, PYTHAGORAS IS ALL AROUND US IN SOCIETY TODAY. IN FACT, HERE IS THE QUICKEST AND MOST ENJOYABLE WAY TO GET A CRASH LESSON IN PYTHAGORAS. WATCH THIS VIDEO HERE:

I AM ALWAYS PROUD OF YOU.
