Schools Summit
The 12th Annual DIA Schools Summit is Coming Soon!
Entrepreneurial and passionately Catholic educators gather at the DIA Schools Summit to challenge conventional thinking on infusing faith in our schools. Professional development and formation inspire attendees to strive for excellence in faith-first communities.
The event is a retreat-like atmosphere for Catholic school and diocese leaders, teachers and campus ministers. Quality networking opportunities, prayer and sacramental celebrations, as well as time with strategic partners, are also part of the agenda. Endorsed by Bishops and Superintendents, and highly rated by past attendees, the annual DIA Schools Summit brings together thought-leaders – like you! – in Catholic education.
Join us October 26-28, 2026, on the University of Dallas campus for the 12th Annual DIA Schools Summit! View the preliminary agenda; presenter and topic details will be added soon!
The Duc In Altum Schools Summit is an inspiring and energizing gathering of witnesses to Christ who serve Him in Catholic schools. The event provides a much-needed opportunity to share and encourage each other in this critically important work of the Church. I would recommend it to any Catholic educator who seeks an opportunity to grow in faith and in hope!
