The goal of The Summit Academy’s seasonal Forum series is to enrich the intellectual and spiritual life of the school community and the broader Fredericksburg region. By hosting mission-aligned speakers who present thoughtfully and charitably about the pressing issues of our time, The Summit is a resource for its community and those in classical education. Previous speakers include Mike Ortner, the founder of Capterra, Mary Rice Hasson, a fellow at the Ethics & Public Policy Center, and Tim Carney, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
