The ultimate goal of our workshops is to honor you and your vocation as a teacher. How do we do that? We’ll start the day with a hot meal, and we’ll spend the day giving you solid catechetical content, teaching strategies, and instructional materials that’ll make your life easier when you return to the classroom. We are former teachers ourselves, and so we know that you don’t want to be talked down to, nor do you want your precious time wasted. We invite you to experience our unique programs yourself.
As a non-profit organization, we are able to offer these workshops to you free of charge. Plus, all of our workshops are completely independent of any religion textbook. These programs serve all teachers no matter which textbook series they use by any publisher.
