About Classical Education
The Chase Center is committed to supporting classical and liberal arts schools in Ohio and across the nation. Over the next few years, we aim to become a national leader in classical education. We will offer teacher education and leadership programs, including degrees and trainings; conduct and share research that provides practical guidance for teachers, school administrators, and policymakers; and serve as a convener, fostering communication and collaboration among classical educators in Ohio and across the country.

K-12 Convening
