Together, we can reclaim the life of the mind and cultivate the next generation of thoughtful readers, discerning thinkers, and wise leaders.
The Great Hearts Institute provides critical intellectual leadership and strategic direction to a growing network of classical educators, school communities, families, and philanthropic partners.
Together at Symposium, we will investigate how 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 capricious as ours. The classically educated child is uniquely equipped to rise above the noise of our distracted age.

The 2027 Symposium will make use of the vFairs event app, which will provide sponsors with additional advertising and networking opportunities. Depending on sponsorship tier, app features will provide sponsors with prominent logo/branding placement in the app, targeted attendee messaging and campaign capabilities, promotions, 1:1 meeting facilitation, and more.
Classical educators, institutional leaders, and like-minded community members are rarely gathered in one place. The 2027 Symposium creates that opportunity. With its special focus on restoring literacy and renewing human attention in an age shaped by technology, the Symposium invites participants to explore how classical learning offers real solutions to the pressures facing education, cultural literacy, and civic life.
