You have a school and you want to lead a vision for what it could be. Here is a day to invest in understanding the idea of a classical campus and its potential for enriching your school’s mission. There will be an alternation, first, of short instructional presentations (the grammar of classical architecture and place-making), then, your questions and discussions that build your dialectic confidence in exercising what you have begun to know. The featured opportunity, however, will be the consideration of particular campus challenges that are brought by participants. For these case-studies, you will send beforehand or bring along with you a plan of your campus and neighborhood, key photos, statements of mission, and an articulation of the problem.
