Our Philosophy of Education

  

A freeman ought not to be a slave in the acquisition of knowledge of any kind... knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

What is leadership education?

Leadership education develops thinkers, leaders, inventors, citizens, entrepreneurs and statesman. It educates individuals “how to think” and teaches them why it is important.


Robert Hutchins said this type of education is "the education of free men in the knowledge and skills that are needed to remain free."

Classically educated leaders are prepared to motivate and inspire individuals, communities and nations to a greater good in an environment of freedom and prosperity that naturally produces the best society has to offer.
