Welcome to the Academy for Classical Teachers

The Academy for Classical Teachers (ACT) provides online enrichment for classical teachers who seek to teach in their classrooms according to the principles of a traditional Liberal Arts Education.  ACT is a collaborative initiative of Great Hearts Academies and our partner institutions in both higher education and classical K-12.  ​

All ACT courses fit into one of two categories: fully asynchronous courses that are available year-round through our partnership with ClassicalU, and live, virtual courses that meet via Zoom and are typically held during the summer. Courses are designed to help teachers dive deeply into content, with an eye toward both theory and practice. ​Faculty are drawn from our friends in higher education, expert teachers, and scholars who have chosen to teach within the public K-12 arena because of the unique opportunities it affords.

We invite you to explore our offerings and hope you find a course that meets your needs, whether you are looking for enrichment on pedagogical practices, specific content deep dives, or leisurely learning that serves to fuel to soul.
