To be notified when registration for the next High School Leaders Forum becomes available, please click the “Register” button at the top of this page.
The High School Leaders Forum opens the doors to an ICLE flagship school to give educators an opportunity to see Catholic liberal arts education in practice at an upper school (high school). Registrants observe classes, speak with faculty, and participate in seminars and workshops on various aspects of transitioning into, launching, and running a Catholic liberal arts school with special emphasis on curriculum and pedagogy. Due to the limited size of the program, the number of registrants from each school is limited to five.
SCHEDULE:
The program begins at 6:30 p.m. on day one with check-in, a welcome reception, and an introductory talk, followed by a day of observation at the host High School on day two. Participants have the opportunity to observe classes and speak with faculty members about their experience of teaching in a Catholic classical liberal arts high school. That evening, participants meet and talk with school leaders and faculty members at dinner. Day three features seminars and workshops on various aspects of transitioning into, launching, and running a Catholic classical liberal arts high school, with special emphasis on curriculum and pedagogy. The program concludes by 3 p.m. on day three. We strongly encourage participants to attend the full program.
COST FOR 2024:

The $795 registration cost includes all program sessions and materials, and all lunches, dinners, and refreshments, beginning with the opening evening welcome reception and concluding with lunch on day three. Breakfast is not included.
