John Kish never pictured himself becoming a teacher. He studied philosophy in college, but after graduating he was invited to attend a conference that inspired him to teach.
“I felt that call really in my bones, like ‘You’re made to teach and this is something truly noble to give yourself to,’” Kish, a teacher at St. Benedict’s Classical Academy in Natick, Massachusetts, said in an interview with “EWTN News In Depth” on Aug. 25.
The Teaching Vocation Conference hosted by The Heights Forum, an annual event held in Potomac, Maryland, is designed for men exploring professions as educators and provides a glimpse into the culture at The Heights School.
“When I saw what The Heights men were doing with teaching, when I saw the love that they had for their students, the love for this vocation as really molding people into being the best that they can be to lead them closer to God — I fell in love,” he shared.
