Liberal Arts Education and Its Place in Catholic Schools
May 20, 2025 @ 3:30 PM ET
Amid growing concerns over modern educational trends, many Catholic schools are turning to liberal arts education as a time-tested alternative that forms students in wisdom and virtue. This webinar will explore how the liberal arts approach, rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, contrasts with progressive approaches and offers a richer, more meaningful vision of learning. We’ll discuss why schools are making this shift and practical steps for those looking to revitalize Catholic education by returning to its foundational principles.
Join this webinar co-hosted by Classic Learning Test and The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education.
