Tyler Graham, Th.D.

Dr. Graham has more than 25 years experience teaching, with the last 15 years in Catholic education as teacher and academic dean in a thriving classical Catholic school. A master teacher, especially in the seminar format,  he has taught all levels of high school theology, history, literature and math in a Catholic liberal arts context.  He has combined his love and knowledge of teaching and his love and knowledge of theology to specialize in the topic of teaching in the Catholic school. With a focus on Luigi Giussani and René Girard,  Dr. Graham explores the function of the Catholic educator as role model and mentor and how to create dynamic and truly Catholic educational communities.

He currently teaches: EDUC 506 Catholic Culture,Community, and Catechetics;  and EDUC 511 Classical Liberal Arts Education Methods and Practice in the Modern Context
