Why Parents Should Attend the ACCS Conference June 21-23
Regents Academy is a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS). This organization is a great partner for our school as we seek to provide an excellent classical Christian education for our children. The ACCS national conference is in Dallas this year on June 21-23. Most of the staff and board are attending, but it will be a great conference for parents also.
I want to encourage all Regents parents to consider going. I promise: you will not regret it!
Recently ACCS listed some benefits for parents who attend:
- Insight into the differences of the classical classroom;
- Encouragement by seeing the “big picture” vision of the classical movement: i.e., we are not alone in this endeavor and we are not crazy. This reinforces the commitment to a classical and Christian education;
- Answers to questions parents are either reluctant to ask or don’t know how to ask;
- Better understanding ofthe parental role in the education process, the distinct advantages of a classical and Christian education, the Trivium and the important differences of each stage, and the need for a rigorous program of study.
If you are interested in attending or want more information, please see me. You can also visit the ACCS website at accsedu.org. We would love for a group of parents to accompany us on the trip!
