SUMMARY:Alumni Reunion 2024
DESCRIPTION:This Summer\, on Friday and Saturday July 12th and 13th\, Gutenberg alumni are invited to participate in a Gutenberg Alumni Reunion here at the college. A small group of alumni are working together on planning this event and will have a more detailed schedule of events ready to send to you in the next month or two. To register click the registration button below. \nWhether we’ve been part of Gutenberg from the beginning or graduated last fall\, I don’t think any of us would be quite who we are today without the little school on University Street. That’s just one part of our story\, though. We’re all still learning and growing. This summer\, at the alumni reunion\, we will have the chance to share in that ongoing journey and to reconnect and encourage each other. We will also have the chance to make new friendships and connections and to enjoy some good food and (of course) great conversations. \nPlease join us July 12th & 13th at Gutenberg College. We hope to see you there! \nRegister for the Reunion

SUMMARY:January 6: Mere Christianity
DESCRIPTION:C. S. Lewis endeavored to explain the essence of Christianity to a general audience through a series of radio broadcasts\, an endeavor which resulted in Mere Christianity. Though Lewis discusses questions and issues familiar to most Christians\, he appeals frequently to every person’s common experience–rather than theological proofs–to explain the faith.

SUMMARY:2025 Winter Institute:Hope Amidst the Odyssey of These Days
DESCRIPTION:At various times throughout the Old Testament\, God abandoned the Israelites as a result of their sinfulness and idolatry. In their suffering and despair\, their only hope was to cry out to God for salvation\, and He\, in His mercy\, would rescue them. \nIn a penetrating analysis of these days\, Jacques Ellul concludes that our culture is in such a period of abandonment characterized by widespread suffering and despair. While God still works in the hearts of His faithful\, the culture at large struggles with false hope or no hope at all. \nThe Winter Institute will explore these questions through several readings\, discussions\, lectures\, and the art exhibit “The Odyssey of These Days.” We will examine the biblical perspective on the hopes of the world and hope in God—how we as Christians can navigate our own odyssey in seemingly hopeless times. \nGo here for details.\nRegisterSign Up for Conference Update Emails

SUMMARY:2025 Education Conference:Teacher as Mentor
DESCRIPTION:Modern education often presents teachers as specialists tasked with imparting expert knowledge to students. Yet the focus of a specialist in pursuit of imparting facts and information too often becomes overly narrow and overlooks the development of the whole student. This kind of oversight can leave a graduate with major blind spots in his or her understanding and outlook. By contrast\, the teacher as mentor embraces the project of delivering more than subject-specific content and works to cultivate the moral\, spiritual\, and intellectual health of the whole student. In this education conference\, we will explore the nature and practices of mentorship in pursuit of equipping students with tools\, skills\, and wisdom to live faithfully before God. \nSign up for “Conference Update Emails” to receive news of the 2025 Education Conference: Teacher as Mentor. \nGo Here for Conference UpdatesSign Up for Conference Update EmailsRegister for EDCON 2025\nI attended my first Gutenberg Education conference in the summer of 2023 and was surprised by the quality of the conference. Because of that experience\, our school brought 13 faculty and staff in the summer of 2024. The conference was once again exceptional\, affording us an excellent team-building road trip! Both conferences were relaxing and challenging\, the speakers were knowledgeable and approachable\, and the schedule was full\, including a great variety of topics and presenters. The hospitality–food\, coffee\, organization–was wonderful\, and our school was very well taken care of. In my mind\, the Gutenberg Education Conference is a great value\, and it is now a part of our permanent school calendar! Congratulations Gutenberg\, and thank you! \n—Matt Greco\, Head of School for Seattle Classical Christian School

SUMMARY:January 12—Young Philosophers: What Is Love?
DESCRIPTION:The broader culture says that “love is love.” So\, what does this tautology mean? If love is love\, then what is love? Is it an emotion or a choice or a commitment? Is it temporary or lasting? Is it temporal or transcendent? When Jesus talks about love\, is he saying\, “love is love\,” or is he saying something different? If the greatest commandments are\, first\, to love the Lord our God with all our heart\, soul\, mind\, and strength and\, second\, to love our neighbor as ourselves\, then love is a topic worthy of inquiry. In this session of Young Philosophers\, we will explore key questions and issues of love. \nYoung Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Love?” on Monday\, January 12\, 2026\, from 6-7 p.m. PST.
