Drawing New Maps of Hope, the Apostolic Letter from Pope Leo XIV, provides inspiration for the 12th Annual DIA Schools Summit, serving Catholic educators and school leaders of all grades. 

The letter states that Catholic education should create “constellations”: an educational constellation includes schools working together through diverse methods and charisms. Pope Leo promotes this collaboration as a strength when coordinated toward a common human mission. 

Come to the DIA Schools Summit, October 26-28, in Dallas, to network and learn alongside Catholic school leaders, teachers and campus ministers. Draw inspiration from the Pope’s directives, and find others at the Summit who are also seeking to create educational constellations in our schools.

The presenters and topics in four general sessions and more than 20 concurrent workshops encompass the Pope’s overarching message that Catholic education should foster an environment where students:

  • Are encouraged to ask challenging questions, 
  • Engage in critical and reflective thinking, 
  • Draw connections across disciplines, and 
  • Approach learning with intellectual humility. 

Join us in Dallas to find support in the Catholic understanding that faith and reason work together.

The DIA Schools Summit continues to grow each year, come see why!
