Our Mission | Our Program

The Need For Federalist Leadership

  • Most colleges, universities and think tanks ignore American principles and institutions
  • Americans do not know their traditions and institutions, even most civil leaders
  • Lack of this knowledge means principles cannot be transferred to the next generation
  • A Center is required to promote the Federalist philosophy that made America successful

Based Upon Signature Series Principles

  • Bellevue University has successfully taught these principles since 1985 Teagle grant
  • Revised in 2001 to Western vision--Athens, Jerusalem, Rome, Christendom, Europe
  • The formation American experiences: colonial, independence, Constitution
  • The Founders philosophy summed in The Federalist Papers and de Tocqueville
  • The Federalist philosophy is intellectual but also has practical affect upon leadership

Through a Comprehensive School Lecture Program

  • Youth foundations will help recruit top students with real civic leadership potential
  • Make programs creative for students to cultivate intellectual leadership talents
  • Community members are invited to one lecture to develop relationships for support
