Florida Classical Education Summit (New Date)

901 South Flagler Drive,West Palm Beach FL 33401

10 March, 2023

Description

Florida recently ranked #1 in the U.S. for education freedom, based on its high levels of transparency, regulatory freedom, school choice, and return on investment for taxpayers. As American families seek schooling that reflects these values, many have turned to classical education. The Classic Learning Test (CLT) is proud to be a leader in the classical education renewal movement. This Summit will bring together K-12 school and thought leaders, representatives from higher education, legislators, and public policy experts. We will discuss the state of classical education in the US and abroad, and look at the broader implications on curriculum, standards, assessments, policy making, and more. The Summit is hosted by CLT in partnership with Palm Beach Atlantic University. CLT exists to reconnect knowledge and virtue by providing meaningful assessments and connections to seekers of truth, goodness, and beauty. Register here for our Thursday evening reception and dinner.
