When my wife Mindy and I first started thinking about home-schooling our kids we looked at many different programs and curriculum. I happened to come across a book online called A Thomas Jefferson Education. I am still not sure why but I decided to buy it but I am grateful I did. This book described how Thomas Jefferson and the majority of the Founding Fathers were educated and it was exactly what Mindy and I had been looking for. We were not just educating our daughters but helping them to become leaders and statesmen. We have been on the path of leadership education for about six years now. The book was written by Dr. Oliver DeMille, President of the George Wythe College in Cedar City, Utah. You can read more about the college on their website if you wish. I added the link below. The information below the link is an introductory paragraph to the college.

Today's political, economic, and social challenges are no less daunting than those of past generations. Governments, businesses, schools, churches and other institutions worldwide need men and women of high moral character, sound intellectual understanding, and principled action to lead the way. But where will these statesmen be found?

George Wythe College stands on the belief that Statesmanship is the product of a particular educational system, known to the great leaders of the past, but lost to modern academia. It is a principle-centered process grounded in the belief in God and immutable moral law, framed on the classics of literature, history, science , the arts, and philosophy, and crowned in the discipline of real-world application under the guidance of a committed and caring mentor.

This was the education of Thomas Jefferson and others under the guiding hands of George Wythe. Today, it can again be your privilege if you have the desire, determination, and character to meet perhaps the most intense and exciting educational challenge imaginable offered at George Wythe College. Having done so, you can be assured of a rich and satisfying life of contribution in whatever path you choose to follow.
