Every year, the Institute schedules several School Leaders Forums at ICLE flagship member schools so that visitors can see Catholic liberal arts education in practice. Registrants observe classes, speak with faculty, and participate in seminars and workshops on various aspects of running a Catholic classical liberal arts school with special emphasis on curriculum and pedagogy.
SCHEDULE: The program begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, followed by a one-day visit to the flagship school on Friday. Participants take a tour of the school and have the opportunity to visit classes in session and to talk with the school’s faculty members about their experience of teaching in a Catholic classical liberal arts school. On Friday evening, participants have the opportunity to meet and talk with school leaders and faculty members at dinner. Saturday features seminars and workshops on various aspects of transitioning to and running a Catholic classical liberal arts school with special emphasis on curriculum and pedagogy. The program concludes by 3 p.m.
COST: $750 per person (includes school visit, seminars, workshops, and all lunches, dinners, and snacks during the course of the program). Due to the small program size, there is a limit of 2 registrants per school. Participants are responsible for their own accommodations.
Partial scholarships are available for vowed religious interested in participating in this program. Please contact office@
