Make an
impact and support the Classical Education Movement
An educational awakening is occurring throughout America. Parents, shocked at the corruption and ineptitude of once-respected educational institutions, are realizing that poor outcomes result from poor philosophies. Indeed, the progressive, anti-Christian ideologies permeating American schools and colleges have yielded the only results possible: a lack of education and an abundance of mental and spiritual anguish. Yet, “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28), and out of this wreckage the Classical Education Movement has emerged, fueled by a desire for truth and seeking to reclaim the spiritual and intellectual inheritance of the Western Tradition.
Classical schools, charter schools, micro schools, and homeschools are appearing across the country. Acadia Education reports that during the 2023-24 school year, 1,551 classical schools were enrolling around 680,000 students. By the year 2035, Acadia projects that number to rise to 2,600 classical schools with 1.4 million students. Some institutions project an even more dramatic rise in classical schools. This growth projection, while wonderful for the American mind, exacerbates an already existing problem: who is going to teach these children? There are only a handful of colleges left in the country that teach the great tradition of Western knowledge at all, and even fewer offer teaching programs for classical educators. How are we going to find teachers who can transmit the classical, liberal arts tradition to the next generation?
The Logres Institute for Classical Liberal Studies, in partnership with the Ciceronian Society, is stepping forward to answer the need by designing and offering classical liberal arts education instruction through an accessible and innovative approach to teacher training: dialogical, text-based, virtual, certification programs aimed at giving teachers, or those who want to teach, the essential knowledge necessary to educate students.
Why give?
-
✽
There is a serious shortage of teachers to meet the needs of the classical renewal movement that is sweeping the country.
-
✽
The vast majority of current teacher training programs are inadequate to meet the needs of the classical classroom.
-
✽
Teacher training should be meaningful, affordable, and positively impact student outcomes. Overpriced college degrees don’t create good teachers.
-
✽
Classically educated students are gifted with the tools to be virtuous adults and engaged citizens.
-
✽
Classical education is the antidote to the dangerous progressive messaging being transmitted through most American school curricula.
-
✽
Our programs are scalable, enabling us to educate large numbers of teachers immediately, at very little cost.
“The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things—not merely industrious, but to love industry—not merely learned, but to love knowledge—not merely pure, but to love purity—not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.”
― Stephen R. Turley, Awakening Wonder: A Classical Guide to Truth, Goodness & Beauty
“Classical education seeks not just to train the leaders of society, but rather to give the education that once belonged only to elites to everyone.”
Dr. Josh Herring, Director, The Logres Institute
“Progressive models of education have failed in every way. Classical Education, the passing on of the Western Tradition, is how we are going to save the minds of American children.”
Lisa Wurtz, Assistant Director, The Logres Institute
“The Logres Institute is where you learn how to give something you never received.”
Josh Bowman, Executive Director, The Ciceronian Society
