We need to look at endorsing this program locally in our private schools! Could we make our own patriot schools with programs like these?

Classical and American​

Hillsdale College was founded in 1844 with the purpose of providing “sound learning” of the kind necessary to preserve the “blessings of civil and religious liberty.” In the words of its modern mission statement, the College “considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.”

In furtherance of that mission, Hillsdale College teaches K-12 schools to provide an education that is both classical and American in its orientation; one that is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, offers a firm grounding in civic virtue, and cultivates moral character.

The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum​

The Education American Students Deserve

The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum is a complete collection of lesson plans for teaching American history, civics, and government to K-12 students. Students who study using this curriculum learn about American history from the colonies through the Civil War at four different times during their K-12 years, each time increasing in depth. The curriculum also includes American history since the Civil War and American government and civics for both middle and high school students.

This curriculum provides teachers with guidance—not dictates—about how to plan and teach a given topic in American history or civics. This guidance includes Hillsdale College-vetted books, online courses, and other resource recommendations; lists of content topics, stories to tell, and questions to ask of students; “Keys to the Lesson” that clarify important points for teachers to keep in mind; student-ready primary sources; and sample assignments, activities, and assessments.

The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum is the product of Hillsdale College professors and some of the very best K-12 teachers, both past and present, derived from and created for real classrooms with real students taught by real teachers

Hillsdale College’s K-12 curriculum is content-rich, balanced, and strong, with emphasis upon the four core disciplines of math, science, literature, and history, with attention to music, art, physical education, and foreign languages.

Developed through the work of the College and with contributions from Hillsdale's Member Schools, the K-12 Program Guide is an excellent and thoughtfully designed K-12 course of study in the liberal arts and sciences.

The K-12 Program Guide provides a scope of the topics to be taught, a sequence in which to teach them, and a complement of vetted and reviewed books, primary sources, and other resources for teachers and students using the guide.

The K-12 Program Guide is available to Hillsdale Member Schools and Curriculum Schools.
 
We could. Maybe not in a formal sense. WI has relatively lax homeschooling laws. File papers with the state. We could start by homeschooling, eventually building a system of people willing to take on multiple kids within the community.

I'd love to talk about doing this along with actually buying land and moving to an off grid patriot community.
