What is the Society for Classical Learning?

The Society for Classical Learning has existed since the mid-1990s to facilitate and encourage thinking and discussion among professionals associated with Christ-centered education in the liberal arts tradition. It is the desire of the Society to provide a forum in which educators can share wisdom, experience and ideas as they deepen their understanding of classical pedagogy and philosophy, stay abreast of developments, and strive to translate classical theory into everyday, real world education. The Society is committed to historic Christianity as expressed in the Nicene Creed and to exploring the relationship of Christ to the broader culture.

The Society of Classical Learning hosts an annual summer conference and publishes The Journal quarterly. In its efforts to support educators, the Society is actively exploring additional membership benefits such as peer consulting, web based searchable databases and communication, and potential sources of continuing education.

We invite you to join the Society and become a part of shaping great education.

The Journal

The Journal of the Society for Classical Learning is a quarterly publication which features articles by experienced educators committed to Christ-centered classical education. It offers an opportunity for members to exchange opinions, expertise and the experiences of their schools and classrooms. Every issue includes articles focused on different areas of classical education including administration, grammar school, middle and upper school, pedagogy & philosophy, law, and real world war stories. The first three editions of The Journal are available on this website for your review under “Membership”.
