We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and that schools don’t replace parents. The mentors of John Adams Academy are partners with parents in their child’s education.
We strive to empower you as the parent with resources and supports to assist you in fulfilling that role. Further, we strive to empower your child to become a scholar, to fully access our American Classical Leadership Education®, and to succeed in any endeavor in life.
We champion the right of every family to choose from a myriad of educational options that fit their needs and the individual needs of their children.
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.
Standing upon the firm foundation of liberty are the pillars of an American Classical Leadership Education®.
The core values are the culture that enriches the fertile environment for the development of servant leaders. They are the language or currency used to express our leadership and character-building educational program.
The art of mentoring is the liberty-based art by which scholars are mentored and led through the liberal arts and the classics while respecting the sovereign nature and intrinsic worth of the scholar.
It is through the pillar of the classics that a scholar engages in the Great Conversation that asks age old questions, and thereby discovers what is good, true, and beautiful. As with our national founders, classics hold the potential to transform a scholar into a wiser and more liberated servant leader.
Whereas classics provide the content of our program, the liberal arts provide the practice. The liberal arts are the arts a scholar must cultivate to become liberated from ignorance and ennobled to virtuous and dignified thinking and acting. They are also the arts of a free society.
