SHAPE Events
Saint Michael Episcopal School is pleased to offer a series of parenting events to partner with you as we SHAPE our children in service, education, love and faith.
Saint Michael Episcopal School is thrilled to join with Good Shepherd Episcopal School, The daVinci School, Westminster Preschool and Kindergarten, Wesley Prep and Incarnation Academy to welcome the renowned educator and New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Michael Gurian.
In a night tailored to parents of children of all ages, Dr. Gurian will explore the topic of how the minds of boys and girls develop distinctly and his keynote brings to life how a child's learning mind grows. His work is based on 30 years of research in brain science, education and practical parenting to support the unique needs of both our daughters and our sons.
In addition to his work authoring 32 books published in 23 languages, Dr. Gurian is featured weekly on his podcast, The Wonder of Parenting. In each episode, he and Rev. Tim Wright break down research on the brain and it’s intricate functions and helps bring to life the strategies necessary to nurture the nature of our children.
For more on Dr. Gurian and his work, please visit his biography and the Gurian Institute website. Don't forget to grab a copy of one of his books for the signing directly after his keynote!
