POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — School of the Ozarks and “The Classical Thistle” hosted the annual Classical Christian Educators Conference at College of the Ozarks on March 1-2, 2024.
The conference explored the practical aspects of teaching classically within today’s classrooms. This conference aimed to equip teachers with practical tools to use right away through workshops that include ideas and tips from seasoned classical educators and allowed time for Q&A and discussion. Video of the breakout sessions and audio of the plenary sessions will be available in the months to come and can be accessed at no cost.
Over 40 speakers from a variety of different schools presented at the conference. Brian Polk, School of the Ozarks associate professor of science, Dainel Chinn, College of the Ozarks professor of biblical and theological studies, and Daniel Kline, College of the Ozarks associate professor of mathematics gave the three plenary addresses. The workshops were led by many of the conference’s most popular previous speakers.
“We love to see teachers leave our conference excited about what they do, encouraged that others serve the Lord in the same way in different towns, and better equipped to do their important work,” said Kyle Rapinchuk, associate professor of Christian worldview.
The 2025 Classical Christian Education conference will be held on March 7-8. Registration for the 2025 conference will be available soon with an early registration discount.
