Looking Ahead to 2026: A Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

As we near the close of another year, I am abundantly grateful for all that the Lord has allowed us to accomplish at the Beza Institute this year. From adding more Beza Fellows to our program, growing our online article content, creating a Beza Institute job board for likeminded classical schools, producing additional podcast episodes, and consulting for classical Christian school throughout the nation, we have much to praise our God for.

As we look forward to another year at the Beza Institute for Reformed Classical Education, we are hopeful to provide more resources which serve as a blessing to the growing classical Christian education movement. Our hope is to establish our first print journal sometime in the coming year, publish more podcast episodes, publish more online articles, and create a teacher training pathway for Reformed classical educators. In order to accomplish these things, we need your support.

As the Beza Institute is run by a team of volunteers who are full-time educators and graduate students, we are able to produce a lot for a little. With that said, we are still in need of financial support in order to cover our regular costs as well as achieve our teacher training & print publication goals. We’d be honored if you’d consider supporting us in the mission as we hope to raise $2,000 for this next year.

I appreciate your prayers and your support of the Beza Institute. Here’s to another year, God-willing, of promoting classical Christian education from a distinctly Reformed perspective for the glory of God and the good of His Kingdom.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

In Christ,

Lucas Vieira | Founder & Executive Director
