A sound education inspires curiosity in the cosmos and a desire to serve God and neighbor by pursuing legitimate vocations. The 2025 joint conference of Lutheranism and the Classics (L&tC) and the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE) aims to support, bolster, and enhance the emergence of classical education in our Lutheran churches and schools through an exploration of historical education as well as classical pedagogy and practice. Papers and panels will address topics including:

• The influence of Greco-Roman education on the Reformation
• The education of famous luminaries: Cyrus, Cicero, Caesar, Augustine, Luther, etc.
• Melanchthon, “praeceptor Germaniae”
• How music influenced the development of education
• The rise of Living Latin
• What does playing and/or recess have to do with education?
