Rooted in Belonging. Routed to Transformation.


January 28-30, 2027
Philadelphia Marriott Downtown

Registration opening soon!

Roots to Routes: A Call Forward is a groundbreaking national conference designed for independent school K-12 educators and administrators, and high school students to engage in bold learning, transformative dialogue, deep reflection on self, school, and society, and skill-building for strategic change. Rooted in the principles of equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging, this intergenerational gathering offers powerful programming and unique experiences that center the voices and well-being of those most often marginalized. Guided by committees of dynamic practitioners from independent schools across the country, Roots to Routes creates space to reimagine education—and move ourselves and our schools forward.

Schools are encouraged to send a robust delegation to Roots to make the most of the connections that could be made within and beyond your school. Schools may send up to 8 high school students (grades 9-12); there is no cap on the number of adults. Students must attend with at least 1 registered adult from their school who will serve as their chaperone and on-site point of contact. 


We extend heartfelt gratitude to our 2026 sponsors for their substantial contributions, which provided vital resources necessary to realize the vision of this conference.
