The Society for Classical Learning (SCL) exists to foster human flourishing by making classical Christian education thrive. The SCL has existed since the mid-1990s to facilitate and encourage thinking and discussion among professionals associated with Christ-centered education in the liberal arts tradition. The Society provides a forum where educators can share wisdom, experience, and ideas as they deepen their understanding of classical theory into everyday, real-world education. The SCL is committed to historic Christianity as expressed in the Nicene Creed and to exploring the relationship of Christ to the broader culture. Working together with classicists, teachers, and lifelong learners, the SCL strives to ensure that the great heritage of Western civilization is preserved, cherished, and handed on to the next generation.
