It is liberty, not force, that constitutes the basis of an education of a free people.
— James Madison

The goal of the American Classical Leadership Education® is a great citizen and noble soul who seeks truth, is schooled by wisdom, and has the virtue to act on that wisdom.

Preparing future leaders and statesmen through principle-based education centered in classics and great mentors. Scholars enjoy a classical liberal arts curriculum encompassing history, English, math, visual and performing arts, laboratory science, foreign language, physical education, and college preparatory electives.

Studying primary sources as the main textbooks, scholars are guided through the great ideas of history by applying the lessons of the past to the challenges of today. 

Using the Socratic Method of instruction, and strategic questioning to encourage higher-order reasoning, scholars will learn how to think critically rather than simply what to think.

The foundation of this model is liberty, upon which the four pillars of our educational model are grounded.
