Circe Apprenticeship

Teacher Training & Mentorship

You want to bless your students by mastering the art of teaching. We can help.
The Circe Institute’s Teacher Apprenticeship is an in-depth, personal, teacher training program in which a small group of professional and home teachers are mentored by a Head Mentor equipped to teach classical rhetoric and the Christian Classical modes of instruction. Together you contemplate several Great Books and practice teaching with your co-apprentices.

The Apprenticeship is a spiritual journey as much as it is an academic one: it opens your eyes to see more clearly, opens your ears to listen more carefully, and opens the door to nearly 3,000 years of western education in wisdom and virtue. – Catherine Maynard

The Apprenticeship has shown me how to better honor my students by engaging them with pointed questions which help them to learn how to think, and not what to think. I rejoice in retaining what I read more completely, contemplating on what I read more deeply, and articulating what I read more clearly. This alone is life changing! – Alexandra Gonzales

Working through these books in community is a tremendous gift; I’ve been as challenged and inspired by my fellow apprentices as I have by our mentor…[it] has nurtured in me an increasing compassion for my own students, and a fresh understanding and respect for the work and effort required of them. – Amy Graham

The Apprenticeship is making me more capable of joining the great conversation of ideas and I am grateful to read and discuss these great books with other people. The Apprenticeship is another important step in the redemption of my own education as a home-educator. – Veronica Boulden
