Empowering parents to shape the future of education — bringing classical curriculum back to our children’s schools.
ABOUT US
What Does The Future Hold?
Schools today are vastly different from those your parents… and even you… might remember. Education has devolved over the past century, moving from a traditional, classical approach experienced in the 50s, 60s and 70s to a more 'Progressive' model. Our goal is to bring America's robust classical curriculum back to our children's schools.

The System is failing our students
With test scores declining and spending per student increasing, it's clear something must change. Parents are increasingly alarmed at what their children are—or aren't—being taught.

How Transparent Is Your Child’s School?
How Transparent Is Your Child’s School?
Parents, you have the right to know! Your child's school has the duty to inform you when there is a material change or event that occurs in your child's educational experience.
We strongly recommend that parents seek a Transparency Policy similar to the one adopted by the Chino Valley Unified School District.

Isn’t it time you take control?
Protect your child and reclaim your proper role in their education.
If homeschooling or private school is not feasible, you may opt your child out of any tests, surveys, counseling, and/or evaluation relative to your child's and your family's personal behavior regarding sex, family life, nationality, religion and beliefs including honesty, integrity, sociability, or self-esteem.
