Saint Thomas' Episcopal “Understanding Boys” Symposium

Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School will host a symposium tackling learning challenges specific to boys.

Recent research shows that boys, when compared to girls, often lag behind in reading and literacy, are more often diagnosed with learning disabilities, are more frequently disciplined, are less involved in school activities, and are beginning to be outpaced in degrees, salaries, and leadership. This symposium, “Understanding Boys,” will feature representatives from the Tennessee-based private boys’ school, The McCallie School. Using the most up-to-date research and 80 years of collective experience raising boys, they will equip parents, educators and other attendees with research, best practices and practical ideas for helping boys thrive in school and beyond.

The event is open to the public, with no admission fee, and will take place in Saint Thomas’ Episcopal Church.
