Happy New year from all of us at SCL!
As I look forward to 2023, I am excited about the continued growth and expansion of classical Christian education (CCE). Here is what I have seen in 2022:
- Large increases in enrollment across the country
- Increased international interest
- Launching of many new classical Christian schools
- Greater number and quality of thought leaders in the movement
- Depth, clarity, and maturity around the philosophy of CCE
- Larger number of strong, established schools
- Excellent bench of developing Heads (not enough of them, but excellent leaders nonetheless)
- Emerging visionary leaders in the movement
At the Society for Classical Learning, we are refining our vision, resources, and support to ensure that the encouraging trends above continue. Here is a snapshot of what we are planning for 2023 and beyond:
- Release of our new strategic plan
- Completely new website with more features and expanded resources
- Expanded consulting services
- Increased leadership trainings and programs
- Release of a new and unique leadership study for classical Christian schools
- Expanded membership value and thought leadership resources
- Formation of strategic partnerships
- Clear articulation of what constitutes a thriving classical Christian school
Of course, there are vulnerabilities and weaknesses I see in the movement as well. I will share those in a future post. There are many reasons to be encouraged about the future of CCE!
