Boot Camp

We can’t teach all of Latin, but we can get you into the game. The goal is not to learn how to teach Latin (those sessions are on Wed/Thurs) but rather to learn Latin.   Those new to Latin, or needing a refresher.  Non-Latin teachers who want the basics.   Logos Latin Teacher

Worldview & Culture

Five broader sessions examining Christian worldview —all through Scripture’s authoritative lens.

Everyone.  Schedule and  Speakers to be determined. 

Teaching Lab Practicum

A practical, hands-on teaching lab: learn how to distinguish an effective lesson from an ineffective one. A few volunteer teachers must prepare in advance, deliver a lesson during the practicum, and then receive feedback. Limited attendance. More information to come. Administrators and Teachers Dr. Chris Schlect, former Logos Teacher 

Logic

Boot Camp

We can’t teach the entire field of Logic, but we can provide a broad overview with enough detail to grasp the subject. New Logic teachers and other teachers who want to integrate logic principles and terminology into their subjects.   Mark Wilson, Logos Logic Teacher

Rhetoric

Boot Camp

Learn the principles of rhetoric and apply them with a series of hands-on exercises and activities designed to give you a good handle on the subject.  The goal is not to learn to teach rhetoric (those sessions are on Wed/Thurs) but rather to learn the theory, principles, and application of classical rhetoric.  New rhetoric teachers, teachers who want to incorporate principles of ethos, pathos, and logos into their teaching or speaking,  and anyone who wants to understand and use classical rhetoric.
