Through timeless truths and a Christ-centered vision of the world, Classical Christian Education shapes the hearts and minds of students to pursue wisdom, cherish virtue, and see all knowledge as part of God’s grand design.


Join us for a conference on Classical Christian Education, featuring talks by professors at Hillsdale College and leaders in our affiliated classical schools. Leave inspired and ready to re-enter the classroom with renewed joy and purpose.

This program is entirely free of charge and includes lunch. Participants receive a certificate that may count towards professional development hours for certification.
