The Art of Teaching

New teachers often have a passion and expertise for the content of their subject. They love what they teach and desire to share this love with their students. Perhaps equally often, however, they lack the practical experience to know how best to execute this aspiration in a classroom full of students—especially boys—who seem, at times, overly energetic and, at other times, overly lethargic and uninterested.

The Art of Teaching Conference aims to share The Heights School's over fifty years of practical experience educating and forming boys into men fully alive. Hosted on campus during a normal school week, the conference offers an opportunity to grow in friendship with men from all across the United States and beyond. Our hope is that participants return to their schools with a renewed sense of mission, as well as a handful of practical ideas that they have picked up during the observations, lectures, and discussions at the conference.

Registration

Registration Cost: $175. Registration includes meals from Wednesday dinner through Friday lunch, along with printed materials for the conference.

The cost per participant of conferences of this nature often exceeds $1,000/participant. We are honored to provide this experience at the deeply discounted rate thanks to the generosity of donors who recognize the cultural importance of education and the teachers that provide it.

We recognize that even the discounted fee may surpass available funds in some cases. Please email nate@heightsforum.org if you wish to be considered for a full or partial scholarship.
