This conference for high school civics and history teachers is called Pillars of American Order: Restoring the Beliefs and Institutions that Uphold America’s Freedoms. Please complete the form below to receive more information as it becomes available about our upcoming Pillars Conference.

“Pillars” traces the origins of the American tradition of order, justice, and freedom through Hebraic and Christian belief, classical philosophy and law, British political experience, and the ideas and institutions of colonial and early republican America. Over the course of "Pillars," speakers will explore these themes through the significance of five cities: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia.

"Pillars" is a project of The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, an internationally recognized organization dedicated to historical study of the roots of civilization. The Kirk Center will draw upon its network of educators to work with high school teachers to better communicate to their students the essential beliefs and institutions that hold America together, and to increase their own historical and civic knowledge.
