Summer Courses
Beginning Summer 2025
One of the goals of The Classical Teaching Institute is to offer teachers an invitation to step inside a classical classroom for an extended period of time. Beginning in Summer 2025, the Institute will offer week-long intensive summer courses which offer a unique opportunity for five days of pedagogical immersion. Summer courses are held on the campus of The Ambrose School in Meridian, ID.
Intensive Summer Course in Humanities
Summer 2025
In the Intensive Humanities Course, Joshua Gibbs will lead teachers through The Consolation of Philosophy, Paradise Lost, Frankenstein, Pride & Prejudice, and The Social Contract using the same readings, lectures, questions, discussions, exercises, and assignments that he has used with students for nearly twenty years. Attendees will have the opportunity to observe a wide variety of pedagogical techniques and to ask questions about the methods with which the course was taught.
Please note that texts do not need to be read in advance - attendees are welcome to experience the works being taught in the same manner as a typical student.
