What’s Happening with CORE?
It’s time to Saddle Up.
At the CORE National Conference, we’re bringing together professionals from across the country to share what works, strengthen meaningful connections, and focus on the skills that make a difference every day. This year’s theme challenges us to move forward with intention – grounded in the realities of child-caring work and equipped with strategies that lead to real success.
This isn’t just about new ideas, it’s about practical application. Through engaging sessions, collaborative conversations, and hands-on learning, participants will gain tools they can immediately put into practice within their own organizations.
Whether you’re on the front lines or in a leadership role, this conference is designed to support you in the work you do every day — building relationships, navigating challenges, and creating lasting impact.
So come ready to connect.
Come ready to learn.
And most importantly, come ready to Saddle Up and move the work forward

It was a man of wisdom who wrote: “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.” It is on that principal that we invite you to become a member of the Coalition of Residential Excellence today – join forces with other boarding schools, residential charter schools, children’s homes, youth ranches and other residential education-based programs around the country advocating for the best interests of children and families.
