Texere is a Latin verb meaning to weave or construct with elaborate care. I like to think of a school as a kind of finely woven tapestry. Lifting any single thread quickly reveals hundreds of points of intersection. Advancing the mission and vision of a school requires attention to the ways in which each part of the school is connected to all the others.

Collective is an admittedly aspirational name. The launch of my own strategic partnerships in the fall of 2027 includes a hope to grow a team of consultants with complementary specialties to serve the complete academic and operational needs of a classical Christian school. The name anticipates forming a team of this kind. Until then, I am glad to leverage my own personal network of leaders in the CCE community.to match schools with the specialists they need for services beyond those I am able to offer.
