FULL | The Great Books Summit April 2024

Thursday, April 18, 2024 — Friday, April 19, 2024
04/18/24 8:00 AM 04/19/24 2:00 PM America/Chicago FULL | The Great Books Summit April 2024 * This is not a function of Trinity International University. Why are the Great Books “great?” It is not because they are homogenous or historic, but because they are a part of a relentless pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. The great books are the great conversation throughout history that seeks to answer the hard questions in life. How ought we live? How to order things appropriately? How do we engage with one another? Stemming from the Great Books is the backbone of civil discourse itself. Reclaiming the Great Books for young minds teaches them first how to listen. Then how to think, and finally how to persuade. At this two-day Great Books Summit, you will learn the history and significance of the Great Books and explore methods for classroom or homeschool implementation. We’ll discuss how the Great Books lay the foundation of what it means to live in civil society and how to instill that at each grade level. Christian education is built on the tradition of the Great Books. To be a Christian educator is to hold an understanding of the great conversation and our place in it today. Whether you teach from a classical Christian perspective or not, join us to find our place in the story of this Great Conversation. This is a best-in-class event accessible for Christian schools and homeschools across the country. Each seat is valued at more than $1,000 and is completely covered by the Herzog Foundation as an investment in your school. The Foundation will cover event costs including accommodations, group meals, transportation once at the hotel, coaching costs, and event materials. Organizations are expected to cover all travel costs to the event location, including parking. This event is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Guests are expected to be present for all sessions in their entirety including activities, training sessions, and meals. If you cannot make this commitment, please r...
