Every year hundreds of teachers attend our programs that are offered in a wide array of disciplines, including Art and Architecture, Classics, English, French, German, History, Mathematics, Politics, Science, and Spanish. CLA invites you to explore our website--check out our upcoming program offerings, our resources for teachers, and our institutional history. And please, feel free to contact us at any time with requests for programs, or for more information about the Center.
