National Conference

(Livestream option available)

Our largest annual event brings together hundreds of educators and clergy to inspire and equip this growing community to reclaim the Church’s full vision of education and to bring it to life in their classrooms.

The Spirit & Craft of Teaching

Our most hands-on, sequential program immerses teachers in the theory and practice of classical liberal arts pedagogy. The 5-day course is designed for both new and veteran teachers who are unfamiliar with Catholic liberal arts education. Participants will explore and practice seven pedagogical principles that can be integrated across the curriculum for any subject and any grade level.

Academic Retreat for Teachers

The Academic Retreat for Teachers gives teachers, administrators, and board members a chance to rekindle their passion for learning while exploring the foundations of Catholic education with colleagues from around the country. The Institute’s Director of Advanced Formation, Dr. Andrew Seeley, will lead the Retreat. Dr. Seeley has over three decades of experience in leading engaging discussions.
