Join the Great Converstion...

Support the future of classical education by sponsoring the National Symposium to help shape the next 250 years of American education.

The Great Hearts Institute provides critical intellectual leadership and strategic direction to a growing network of classical educators, school communities, families, and philanthropic partners.

In 2026, the Great Hearts Institute will celebrate the Semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence at our National Symposium and throughout the year. Together at Symposium, we will explore the importance of classical education to the renewal of civic life and thoughtful leadership in a constitutional democracy.

A Unique Advertising Opportunity

With this year's special focus around our nation's 250th birthday, our goal is to pursue together and understanding of the American mind, by examining how classical lerning shapes the American experiment in republican government and prepares moral citizens and leaders for the future.
