You carry your school's mission and its culture, and your teachers arrive with very different preparation. ClassicalU gives your faculty one course of study to share: professional development that forms teachers rather than merely training them, from over 100 courses by master classical educators, with partnered credentials that travel.
“ClassicalU invites outstanding thinkers and practitioners of the ongoing renewal into one place. I’d recommend it to any teacher looking for guidance without losing the joy that brought them to the classroom in the first place.”
Brian Williams, Dean, Templeton Honors College
Partnered credentials that travel: continuing education units from ACSI on most certificate courses, Texas CPE, and graduate credit through Templeton Honors College and Taylor University.
Plans sized to your faculty, course deadlines you set, and a pace that honors a full teaching week and a careful budget.
Presenters who have spent their lives in real classrooms: a faculty of friends who have gone down the trail ahead of yours.
Your own courses and your school's name on the page, if you want them: branded teams carry your mission in your words.
For Heads of School and Teachers
Name what you hope to cultivate in your teachers, and the learning-path planner draws a course of study from our lectures, with a presenter, a length, and a plain reason for every lesson.
Begin with your aims
Five goals in your order of importance, from shared understanding of classical education to teachers worthy of imitation
Paced to your school year
Hours per week and the dates your faculty will gather to talk it over
A plan you can hand out
Two pathways to compare, each with its presenters and reasons, saved as a PDF for your faculty meeting
“I really liked the feature that showed our planned faculty discussion days built in. If we had not already started a training program through ClassicalU, I would be calling you now to book this plan!”
Cindy Davis, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, Carmel Latin School

Assign courses, or a single lesson, with the dates you set, so the whole faculty reads the same lectures before the meeting.

Mark each teacher's role and stage, and the Course Finder shows the tracks that fit a grammar teacher, an upper-school teacher, or a head of school.
