Looking Ahead to RTR 2026

What Kind of Proposal Should I Submit?

We would love to promote practical ways of improving the academic culture in classrooms of all ages and types. Broadly speaking, we want to return to those principles and methods that reestablish a more faithful paideia in our schools—whether those are conventional 5-day programs or collaborative models. As usual, we welcome submissions that speak to all aspects of the classical Christian school:

• The principles and practices of classical teaching (multum non multa, repetitio mater memoriae, liturgies that elevate and instruct, etc.)
• Specific curricular instruction (how to teach Grammar by way of Latin, Singapore Math, teaching Euclid dialectically, progymnasmata for grades 6-8, etc.)
• Modes and motifs (why storytelling and narration matter, etc.)
• Classical methods (how fairytales provide the Grammar for biblical meaning, etc.)
• Business support and organizational excellence (tools for accounting and finance, hacks for school growth and fundraising, best practices in school communication, etc.)

We would also love to have presentations related to culture building within your school—from good athletic programs to successful approaches to dances and formal protocol events, to house systems hacks, to campus security, to instructional models that are better tailored to the needs of boys and girls.
