Pre-Conference, Practicums, & Boot Camp
Boot Camp
Repairing the Ruins is offering a Teacher Training Boot Camp for teachers of all levels:
This bootcamp does not merely explain classical education—it’s practical, hands-on training for classical Christian teachers. Participants learn the difference, the engagement, and the expectation that distinguish classical education from modern approaches—grounded not in nostalgia, but in the ordered formation of the mind.
With ACCS Pathway Certificates for Every Course that count towards Accreditation Requirements

EST. 2018
I have been in public education 32 years and now, classical Christian for 6 years. I have attended countless conferences, but NEVER have I attended anything that benefited me as much as RTR. Thank you!
The overall atmosphere was incredible. Being surrounded by and learning from like-minded people was a great experience. I learned so much and can’t wait to attend more conferences!
Attending the conference in person provides a richer experience, the opportunity to network, and also engage with vendors.
What are my registration options and how do I register?
- Leader’s Day, Academic Leader’s Day, and the Practicums are held on Wednesday, the day before the main conference starts.
- Boot Camp runs 1:00 – 5:00pm Wednesday – Friday.
- The main conference runs Thursday – Saturday.

Members of the ACCS receive a conference discount when they register – no code required.
For groups from Member Schools, if the whole group registers at once, they save an additional amount per person. Please register your group at one time, since the group discount cannot be applied retroactively.
In addition, specials and flash sales run throughout the registration period. Keep your eyes open for these discounts.
And remember, Early Bird ends April 28!
If your school would like to become a Member, please reach out to our Membership Manager Olivia Unger at [email protected]. Learn more about membership here.

Can I attend Leader's Day AND a Practicum?
For the best experience, we would recommend that an attendee choose between Leader’s Day, Academic Leader’s Day, or a Practicum, since all are full-day programs on Wednesday happening simultaneously. Boot Camp is another option that runs from 1:00pm to 5:00pm through both the pre-conference and main conference.
Can I get Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits for the conference?
We can provide attendees with a document that they may use to obtain CEUs. Ask for more information at the registration desk at the conference.
