Caleb Beck is an Instructor of Fine Arts, History, and Literature at The Summit Academy.

Mr. Beck earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University and his Master of Fine Arts through the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.

Following his graduate studies, Mr. Beck moved to Chicago, where he served as an adjunct faculty member at Chicago State University, Roosevelt University, and the City Colleges of Chicago. During this time, he founded an artist-run gallery dedicated to emerging Chicago artists. His own paintings have been exhibited in New York City, Chicago, Boston, and Richmond. He is a member of the Catholic Art Institute and a former member of the New Art Dealers Alliance.

Mr. Beck teaches in the classical tradition, drawing on the Western canon, primary sources, classic texts, and the techniques of the great masters. His love of history, eye for beauty, and good humor make him especially well suited to his varied roles at The Summit.

Along with teaching, Mr. Beck has hosted popular summer programs, including the Civil War Games Camp and Plein Air Art Camp.

Mr. Beck’s return to Virginia to teach at The Summit marks a homecoming for him, having grown up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Radford, Virginia. He and his wife, Kaitlyn, recently welcomed their second child.
