The word scholé comes from a Greek word that means "restful learning," with the connotation of "contemplation," "conversation," and "reflection."  Our name, Ordo Amoris, is a latin phrase meaning an "order of love” or the ordering of one’s affections or priorities.  Once Christ is seated in His rightful place in our affections, our love for Him will sanctify our hearts and passions, leading us to value the things of the world appropriately.  As Augustine put it, ordo amoris is “the brief and true definition of virtue.”
