Taught by Mrs. Victoria Rose.
This course is one of a kind.
Government as taught in Declaration Statesmanship – There is no other course like it available to the American high school student. It unites history, philosophy, and what we call ‘civics’ in a dynamic blend of narrative and argument. As much as possible it deploys original sources and fundamental texts, and the writing of the authors endeavors to match, as their capacities allowed, the thoughtfulness and elegance of the authors who inspired us.
The second semester, focused on economics, based on the Russel Kirk’s work Economics: Work and Prosperity. Kirk’s many years of experience as an essayist, journalist, lecturer, critic, biographer, novelist, and historian of ideas gave him a range of understanding and felicity of expression that bring clarity, liveliness, and optimism to the study of economics from the Christian perspective.
