Since 2003, CenterForLit director Adam Andrews has been encouraging educators and parents at speaking engagements across the country. His talks leave audiences not only inspired and equipped to teach the liberal arts confidently, but also encouraged and uplifted by the good news of the Gospel.
Adam is a homeschooling father of six and co-author of Teaching the Classics. He has traveled around the world presenting an innovative method for teaching the crucial skills of literary analysis. Adam’s dynamic presentations enable students to enjoy great literature as never before, while his fresh insights inspire parents and teachers with new vision for their task as educators.
Adam earned his B.A. from Hillsdale College in southern Michigan and his M.A. from the University of Washington in Seattle, where he is currently a candidate for the Ph.D. He is a Henry Salvatori Fellow of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and a founding board member of Westover Academy in Colville, Washington.
Missy Andrews, author of Teaching the Classics, Wild Bells, and My Divine Comedy: A Mother’s Homeschooling Journey, offers insight and encouragement from her 23 years of homeschooling experience.
Missy is co-director of the Center of Literary Education and a homeschooling mother of six. She earned her B.A. in English from Hillsdale College and her M.A. in Imaginative Literature from Harrison Middleton University. She and her husband Adam live on a mountaintop in northeast Washington, where she collects children’s books and reads and reads and reads.
Ian Andrews is the host of CenterForLit’s two podcasts, BiblioFiles and How to Eat an Elephant. He travels around the country speaking about literary education from his own unique perspective as an educator, student of literature, and graduated homeschooling student.
