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 Retreats
ICLE’s Academic Retreats are a practical and formative experience of one of the key elements of a liberal arts education: the art and practice of seminar discussion.
Led by master teachers, these small-group discussions guide Catholic educators to ponder the depth and breadth of a curriculum alive with Catholic wisdom, and to experience the joy of a vibrant Catholic learning community.
