Educators who attend this intensive study under a CiRCE Head Mentor for five days in Kannapolis, NC in the new beautiful facility of the CiRCE Institute.

Participants begin the week with an extensive overview of the history, form, and purpose of classical eduation. The next four days guide teachers through the activites of teaching, planning, reading, writing, and assessing essential to the classical educator. The day is divided by an instructional morning session followed by lunch at the institute. Participants spend the afternoons reading and discussing the selected texts for the intensive. Texts should be read by participants before the first day of the course. Participants should use evenings to review texts scheduled the following day.
