San Luis Obispo Classical Academy is hosting an online retreat, On Being Human: classical education as a bridge across divides, on Saturday, February 6th, 9a-noon via Zoom. This is for parents & educators looking for deeper conversation into classical education’s purpose and the role of education as it relates to Black American History. Guest speakers & classical educators Angel Adams Parham & Dr. Anika Prather will discuss classical education as a bridge across divides with time for Q&A and discussion.
This year has been packed—American history, elections, unrest—some may even feel moved towards deeper reflection upon ethnic divides in our own lives, culture, nation, world, both now and in history. As a classical school, we have timeless tools to think about modern culture carefully. Or do we? Is classical education outdated? Let’s find out!
To answer the call to this moment we are providing a deeply enriching opportunity to dig deep into who we are as a classical school. We will explore complicated questions, look at multiple understandings of the purpose of education while also addressing timeless themes such as freedom, oppression, democracy and citizenship. We invite you to consider how your own story intersects with the greater story of history, and how this moment in time connects us back to the very history we’re digging into this year and in years to come.
