Magistras & Majestas

What is it like to be a Civitas student? Now is your chance to find out!

Sample the excitement, spiritual nourishment, and joy of a Civitas education as five expert and enthusiastic teachers model our teaching philosophy through brief lessons—what can algebra, engineering, and composition, Shakespeare, Bach, Jane Austen, and Tolkien teach us about Christ?—followed by a round-table Q&A about classical education and luncheon for all.

Come be a student for a morning and see how pursuit of knowledge reveals the majesty of God and how the liberal arts teach us to surrender ourselves in worship.

This event is free with a suggested donation of $10 to defray costs of food and materials. We encourage anyone interested in the mission and work of Civitas to attend.
