The CiRCE Institute’s Summer Course is designed to provide additional professional development to new teachers or teachers new to classical education. 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 each morning with an extensive overview of the history, form, and purpose of classical education. The afternoons guide teachers in practicing reading and discussing texts, and practicing discussion leading skills essential to the classical educator. Each day will include a lunch provided the CiRCE Institute, except Friday, which will end at lunchtime. Texts should be read by participants before the first day of the course. Participants should use evenings to review texts scheduled the following day.

By the end of the week, each participant will have attended to the fundamentals every classical educator must come to understand and exercise in the classroom, through every lesson, with his students.
