PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

To be notified when registration for the next High School Spotlight becomes available, please click the “Register” button at the top of this page.

What is the best way to really know what is meant by Catholic liberal education? Take the opportunity to become a student again and witness for yourself the living reality of a Catholic liberal arts community, as ICLE opens the doors to a flagship school at our High School Spotlight. Observe classes, speak with faculty and students, and participate in seminars and workshops in this powerful first-hand experience of Catholic liberal arts education, gaining deep insights as an essential step in transitioning to, launching, and running a Catholic liberal arts high school. Due to the limited size of the program, the number of registrants from each school is limited to five.

COST FOR 2026:

$795 per person, due within 15 days of registration.

The cost includes all program sessions and materials, and all lunches, dinners, and refreshments, beginning with the Thursday evening welcome reception and concluding with lunch on Saturday. Breakfasts are not included.

What Past Participants Say

"The [Spotlight] provided me with the opportunity to observe an intentionally Catholic, integrated, classical school AND hear from every category of stakeholders with the result that I left with inspiration and energy to contemplate how to take the next steps to lead my school forward."

"The High School [Spotlight] provided both the inspiration and practical advice that we need to continue working toward the renewal of authentic Catholic education in the high school grades at our school. These two days probably saved us years of work!"

"This was an inspiring and eye opening conference on how a true classical school operates. A conference like this should be mandatory for all teachers and staff of schools transitioning or thinking of transitioning to a classical education."
