Mission
NAAPE aims to further the professional status of the fields of Philosophy and Education by joining other regional, national and international philosophy and education societies in encouraging thoughtful scholarship and a robust exchange of ideas between philosophers, philosophers of education and educational practitioners.
Membership
NAAPE brings philosophers, educational researchers, and practitioners together from around the world to further philosophical reflection on education and educational inquiry in philosophy. You can join our society today by registering for our annual conference or by visiting our Join page.
Conference
NAAPE hosts an international conference annually at the end of October. The conference takes place each year on the beautiful grounds of the University of St. Mary of the Lake, in Mundelein, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.

“Education, enlarging as it does our horizon and perspective, is a means of multiplying our ideals, of bringing new ones into view.”
“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education.”
