Kate and Leah are passionate to embolden Lutheran Schools to distinctively cultivate the human spirit by reclaiming timeless tools of learning. Between them, they have nearly 60 years of experience invested in nourishing Classical Christian Education.
Kate Deddens
For thirty years, Kate has dedicated herself as an educator to her family and to members of local as well as national home education and micro-school communities – teaching, writing, speaking, encouraging, and training others particularly within classical Christian circles. She has devoted her life to the transformative value of Classical Christian Education and brings decades of experience spreading and enhancing distinctly Lutheran Classical Education. Kate is passionate about the transformative value of classical, Christian education and is committed to furthering its quality, prevalence, and influence.



Leah Bromen
Leah is a recovering engineer, endeavoring to cultivate her own spirit in Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. She has spent decades as an educator for her children and as a catalyst for classical education. Over the years she has founded and administrated a hybrid classical school; consulted with Lutheran schools adopting the classical model of education; encouraged classical leaders and parents in practicing the arts of learning; spoken and trained on classical education nationally; taught at the elementary and high school levels; and galvanized tens of thousands of families in the pursuit of classical education. Leah has invested time in pursuing and promoting classical education locally and around the world, and she is impassioned to champion classical, Lutheran education and reclaim the cultivation of the human spirit.

“Kate is the consummate classical educator.” – Matt Bianco, Chief Operations Officer & Head Mentor of the Apprenticeship Program, CiRCE Institute
“Kate [has] had decades of successful classical education experience and rich expertise in developing educational strategies and thorough guidelines for teaching and learning on the basis of classical texts in all fields.” – Gisela Berns, Tutor Emeritus, St. John’s College, Annapolis MD
“Leah was instrumental in our growth at Classical Conversations in a number of roles that not only gave her a breadth of experience in helping the organization grow, but also a deep understanding of classical education and the tools of learning. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her in helping any organization grow in their knowledge and understanding of classical education and the practical application of it in an academic and operations setting.” – Robert Bortins, CEO, Classical Conversations
