"The liberal arts can equip a child for effective service in the world; catechesis can equip a child for everlasting life."

News from the CCLE

Equipping your Classical Lutheran School or Homeschool

Accreditation

CCLE accreditation examines the extent to which a school meets the Marks of a Classical Lutheran School, a document identifying essential areas of Lutheran theology, classical curricula and methodology, and on-going institutional resilience and strength. The Marks have been carefully crafted into a visionary document that seeks to identify what a classical and Lutheran school looks like in the contemporary setting.

Resources

The CCLE offers a wide variety of resources for classical Lutheran educators, administrators, and parents. Visit our Recommendations page to find curriculum, websites, classical organizations, and books. Visit our Free Resources page to access videos, publications, audio, and more. The School Resource Library is available to educators with a CCLE Institutional Membership. Our Blog shares perspectives from leading contributors to classical Lutheran education, and many articles are available in Spanish.

Events

The CCLE annual summer conference has been an invaluable resource for classical Lutheran education since 1999, which is attended by hundreds of educators, pastors, homeschoolers, and youth. The CCLE also offers practicums to equip educators in classical Lutheran pedagogy and a fall symposium, which is hosted in different regions of the country each year to generate awareness about our mission. Our annual student contests in recitation, penmanship, and composition are open to students who attend CCLE-accredited schools and CCLE member homeschools.
