An American Classical Education

Our classical education is designed for a free people. It follows the vision of the American Founders and other civic leaders and educators throughout our history. This vision holds that a traditional, liberal education is the surest foundation for individual flourishing and leads, through a robust yet civil conversation about our well-being, to civic freedom, justice, and happiness for all.
