BPI 2024 Track Materials
Location: Q Center
St. Charles, IL
We are keeping Best Practices for the Christian school home in the Chicago area! BPI 2025 will be hosted at the world-class training center – the Q Center – located along the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois. The Q Center features beautiful meeting spaces, exceptional rooming, and a variety of amenities to enjoy during your free time. You will also have the opportunity to visit Wheaton Academy and see our completed $30M capital improvement of its 55-acre campus. Come and see our new facilities and hear how it is transforming the teacher and student experience.
Bring your team! In response to feedback, we are modifying the format in 2025 to build a team workshop into the overall schedule. This workshop will allow the school teams to come together and prioritize all they have learned from their intensives into an action plan for their own school. Individual leaders can use this time to build their own action plans.
All meals, lodging, and accommodations are included in your registration cost this year! Information about registration will be available soon. See below to see a sample schedule and our intensive tracks!
Come join us to:
Go deep into best practice and its application for your school.
Learn the “how,” not just the “why.”
Find time to workshop application to your own school.
Connect with colleagues to support you all year long.

Introducing Year-Long Cohorts for Continuous Support
We were thrilled to introduce an intensive format in our annual conference to provide you with a deeper dive into subjects, best practices, and practical solutions.
You can join one of our Best Practice intensives, each led by dedicated faculty members who will guide you through 2 days of workshops, guest presentations, and hands-on tools. There you will have the opportunity to workshop real issues, gain valuable insights, and learn from your colleagues’ experiences. Most importantly, you’ll form a year-long lifeline to problem-solving and innovative ideas through your cohort network.
Soon, you will be able to join virtual roundtables to continue the discussion and further your network.
