Writers tend to be a well-educated bunch, so it's no surprise that schools turn up often in literature. Whether it's public school, an exclusive boarding school, or the school of hard knocks, characters are constantly being educated about the world around them. I hope you took notes in class, because you're about to take the Monitor's schools in literature quiz! No peeking at your classmate's answers.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
