The Civic Summer Institute for Learning and Teaching was created with the purpose of building a powerful learning community of civics teachers from across the country who shared effective practices and distilled guiding principles that aided in informing and enriching civic learning for educators across the country. The Democratic Knowledge Project hosts a group of 12 eighth grade and high school teachers at a one-week, expenses-paid Civic Learning Institute at the Schoodic Institute campus in Acadia, Maine. The third consecutive year of this institute ran in July of 2025.
