2027 National Symposium for Classical Education
February 24-26, 2027
Tempe Mission Palms Hotel, AZ
Our present moment is characterized by ubiquitous screens, fractured attention, and growing isolation. As habits of deep reading, careful reasoning, and thoughtful conversation erode, something essential about our shared cultural and civic life is at risk.
Classical education is a salve to all of these ills. Engagement with “the best that’s been thought and written”, grounds us in the power of words, the discipline of argument from first principles, and the wonder of the natural world. Classical education forms habits of attentiveness, intellectual humility, and moral imagination that are indispensable for human understanding in any age - and especially in one as fractious and flighty as ours.
Please join us at the 2027 Great Hearts National Symposium for Classical Education, Recovering Reading and Reason in a Distracted Age.
The Tempe Mission Palms Hotel is located in the city of Tempe, 4 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The hotel is situated near Arizona State University (ASU) and there are plenty of things to do nearby that make the city a fun and exciting place to visit.
