The Joyful Calling: Discovering Purpose and Community in the Catholic Liberal Arts School
March 6, 2025 – 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT
Presented by Peter Crawford, Academic Dean
The Church’s tradition of education frees both teachers and students for the joyful pursuit of faith, wisdom, and virtue. What does this freedom look like, from a teacher’s perspective? What distinguishes a Catholic liberal education classroom from other educational settings? Join Peter Crawford, ICLE’s Academic Dean, for a look at life inside an ICLE member school, operating with the aim “to foster the growth of good Catholic human beings who love God and neighbor and thus fulfill their destiny of becoming saints.” [Holy See’s Teaching on Catholic Schools]
The Educator’s Sacred Task: Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in Catholic Liberal Education
April 29, 2025 – 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT
Presented by Abriana Chilelli, Diocesan Liaison
An educator’s sacred task is to always lead his students to the most they are capable of coming to know, with discernment towards giving students that which are the most beautiful, good, and true things to behold. By including more children with disabilities in our schools of Catholic liberal education, we show the world the good of education for human flourishing. Join Abriana Chilelli, ICLE’s Diocesan Liaison, to explore how Catholic liberal education is an education for everybody, because Catholic liberal education takes the anthropology of the human person seriously. Abriana will share not only vision, but also many examples of how to include more children with disabilities at the school-level and at the diocesan-level.
Equipping the Primary Educators: Catholic Liberal Education for Parents
Date / Time TBD
Presenter TBD
Just in time for the start of the academic year, ICLE is offering an introduction to Catholic liberal education, designed especially for school parents.* What is Catholic liberal education? What is meant by “liberal?” What does it mean to say that “Christ is the curriculum” in the Catholic school? What are the seven liberal arts and who are they a superior framework to state standards? How will Catholic liberal learning free my student for the joyful pursuit of faith, wisdom, and virtue? Will my student be well-prepared for life by this education? Join the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education to explore the answers to these questions and more. NEW for this webinar: Live Spanish language translation will be available!
*Although this webinar is geared toward forming parents, all are welcome to register and attend.
