May 1, 2024:
Significant strides have been made in recent decades to regain self-governance in our K-12 schools, through family-governed, classical education. We remain atrophied, however, in governing the post-secondary education space. Dr. Ellis will discuss opportunities for rethinking a classically inspired, affordable, self-governing model for higher education, both for the liberal arts and for the practical arts and trades.
