At a Glance
Classical educators come to Repairing the Ruins for talks, gatherings, and more.
Here’s an overview of what we have in store.
Speakers
Speaker Highlights
Over 60 speakers deliver inspiration and instruction. Choose from approximately 8-10 speakers and workshops during each of four daily sessions, plus plenary sessions, networking events, and other gatherings created by fellow conference attendees.
Conference
Plenary Talks
These “keynote” talks encourage and challenge all of us. Speakers from outside our movement help us see new perspectives. Leaders inside the movement challenge us with new ideas, born in the classical Christian model.
Workshops
Through surveys, we work hard to find relevant, actionable 50-minute talks of particular interest to teachers, administrators, and staff at classical Christian schools. We also have some talks that are just intended to play with ideas.
Meet Your Peers
Time during one workshop session is set aside for teachers to meet with their grade-level peers from around the country.
Additional Training
Leaders Day
Specific talks and panels on leadership at classical Christian schools.
Practicums
These are activity-based, in-depth training for teachers and administrators. They occur on the day just prior to the main conference.
A multi-part structured training track for new and developing CCE teachers. This targeted track occurs during the main conference and is useful for teacher certification.
Meetings and Events
Membership Meeting
The annual membership meeting provides insight into the organization’s activities and takes input from members.
Accredited Schools Meeting
Accredited schools gather to cover an agenda specifically targeted for ACCS accredited schools.
Other Activities
Meetups & Gatherings
Repairing the Ruins is the time to meet with groups interested in classical Christian education. For example, we use this opportunity to bring key groups together by invitation to broaden the reach of classical Christian education. What meeting can you sponsor? What dinner can you arrange?
Networking
We have set aside space for attendees to sit, enjoy coffee, and talk about whatever. These opportunities are the highlight of the conference for many. After hours, there are many great opportunities in the area.
