by The Heights School
Welcome to HeightsCast, the podcast of The Heights School. With over 200 episodes, HeightsCast discusses the education of young men fully alive in the liberal arts tradition. The program engages teachers and thought-leaders in the educational/cultural space to support our community of listeners: parents, teachers, and school leaders seeking to educate the young men in their care. Instead of downloads, HeightsCast's most important metric for success is the unknown number of thoughtful discussions it prompts in homes, faculty lunchrooms, and communities around the country and the world. Thank you for listening; thank you for continuing the conversation.

<p>“Offer it up!” Do we receive that invitation with a wince or a nod? Heights Assistant Headmaster Tom Royals invites us to examine our approach to Lent and “offering it up”—with an emphasis on offering. Mr. Royals reflects on the “happy obligation” that is the habit of sacrifice, and he considers the liturgical seasons of Lent, Passiontide, Eastertide, and ordinary time as gifts from the Church.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chapters:</h2> <p>4:21 “Offer it up”</p> <p>8:37 Look to the cross</p> <p>10:59 Offering it up as a pattern and practice</p> <p>12:47 Keeping the Lord company</p> <p>16:22 Our reactions to setbacks</p> <p>20:57 History of Lent: an ecclesial framework</p> <p>23:22 Our Lent so far</p> <p>25:44 Lent in the family culture</p> <p>28:24 Easter: the feast of feasts</p> <p>32:02 These next ten days</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Links:</h2> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/42DzUcG">Holy Rosary (with images)</a> by Josemaria Escriva</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Featured opportunities:</h2> <p><a href= "https://heights.edu/event/heights-parents-conference-2025-fostering-our-sons-faith/"> Parents Conference: Fostering Our Sons’ Faith</a> at The Heights School (April 12, 2025)</p> <p><a href="https://heightsforum.org/events/">Teaching Essentials Workshop</a> at The Heights School (June 16-20, 2025)</p> <p><a href="https://heightsforum.org/events/convivium/">Convivium for Teaching Men</a> at The Heights School (November 13-15, 2025)</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Also on the Forum:</h2> <p><a href= "https://heightsforum.org/podcast/learn-to-turn-tom-royals-on-parental-prudence/"> Learn to Turn</a> featuring Tom Royals</p>

<p>As a Valley veteran, Tom Steenson has seen patterns emerge from his two decades of parent-teacher conferences. He invites us to sit down for a not-so-hypothetical conference featuring the recurring advice he offers to the parents of his lower school students. In short, Mr. Steenson hopes to encourage parents in their parental authority and to help them identify (or sometimes even invent) opportunities for growth in their young men.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chapters:</h2> <p>3:25 Encourage parental instincts</p> <p>7:03 Trust in the long game</p> <p>9:02 “Better late than early”<sup>TM</sup></p> <p>11:38 Exercise his accountability</p> <p>20:05 Let him help others</p> <p>22:48 Don’t eliminate friction</p> <p>24:05 Beware the schedule</p> <p>26:36 Help him want to read</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Featured opportunities:</h2> <p><a href= "https://heights.edu/event/heights-parents-conference-2025-fostering-our-sons-faith/"> Parents Conference: Fostering Our Sons’ Faith</a> at The Heights School (April 12, 2025)</p> <p><a href="https://heightsforum.org/events/">Teaching Essentials Workshop</a> at The Heights School (June 16-20, 2025)</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Also on the Forum:</h2> <p><a href= "https://heightsforum.org/article/parent-teacher-conference-guide/"> A Guide to Parent-Teacher Conferences</a> by Kyle Blackmer</p> <p><a href= "https://heightsforum.org/essays/partnering-with-parents-some-implications-for-parents-as-primary-educators/"> Partnering with Parents</a> by Michael Moynihan</p> <p><a href= "https://heightsforum.org/article/communicating-with-parents/">Communicating with Parents</a> by Kyle Blackmer</p> <p><a href= "https://heightsforum.org/podcast/dumb-phones-feature-phones-and-the-new-tech-landscape/"> Dumb Phones, Feature Phones, and the New Tech Landscape</a> featuring Alvaro de Vicente</p>
