Expert RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS
Montrose faculty and administrators support LCI’s outreach efforts by presenting at conferences, exploring new initiatives, and sharing their expertise with visitors who come to Montrose from around the world to learn from us.
LCI also works in partnership with the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtue at the University of Birmingham (UK) to provide training and curriculum resources to public and private school educators.
