Preparing for 2025 at The Beza Institute: A Letter from the Executive Director

Written By Lucas E. Vieira

I'm very excited about the unique work we are doing at the Beza Institute for Reformed Classical Education. As one of the only classical education organizations that is distinctly & purposefully Reformed Protestant in approach, I think we play an important role in filling a gap in the classical renewal movement.

While I'm excited for what is ahead in 2025, we need some help. We are currently looking for someone who would like to help with managing our social media accounts and website! As our entire team is made up of volunteers, this role would also be a volunteer position — likely only 1-2 hours a week. Please contact us if you're interested in helping promote a distinctively Reformed Protestant vision of classical education, gifted in design, and enjoy writing.

In addition, if there are any Reformed Classical Educators out there who are passionate about podcasting (or have been hoping to start a podcast on classical teaching) who would like the Beza Institute to host, produce, and promote their podcast - please send us an email. We're looking to grow our podcast presence and would love to serve as a hub for a variety shows in 2025!

We hope to accomplish the following as we move into a new year:

  • Publish more articles on classical Christian education from a Reformed Protestant perspective

  • Release 12-15 New Episodes of the Reforming Classical Education Podcast

  • Produce 2-3 More Podcast Shows for the Institute

  • Officially launch our School Consulting Program.

  • Lord willing, we have plans to partner with a Reformed Seminary in offering an online Classical Teacher Training Program (Details forthcoming).

If you'd like to see the Beza Institute for Reformed Classical Education expand and offer more resources for classical Christian educators in the coming year, would you consider donating? As a 501c3, all donations we receive are tax deductible. It's our goal to raise $3,500 for this next year to cover our costs and expand our work. You can give here.

I pray that your Advent season is marked by joy, hope, and good Christmas cheer. Merry Christmas!

Soli Deo Gloria,

Lucas Vieira | Founder & Executive Director
