Equip your high school students with more than just civic knowledge—form them as virtuous citizens and future leaders. Declaration Statesmanship is a dynamic, one-semester American Government course that unites history, philosophy, theology, and civics in a way no other program does. Drawing directly from the founding documents and the greatest minds of American political thought, this course offers students:
The course has three primary parts. In the first, the text explores the ideals and principles of this nation as expressed in The Declaration of Independence. It examines the philosophy and religious teaching that influenced the founders in their decision to write the Declaration and leave Great Britain. Then the text considers the Declaration in detail and shows how The Articles of Confederation and The Constitution establish a government which fulfills the Declaration’s ideals.
A Deep Foundation in Principles: Beginning with the Declaration of Independence, students uncover the philosophical and religious truths that guided the Founders in shaping a free nation under God.
Case Studies in Statesmanship: Through the lives of leaders confronting slavery and civil rights, students witness how enduring principles—not political expediency—form the backbone of moral leadership.
Enduring Lessons from Tocqueville: With Democracy in America as a guide, students analyze what makes American democracy unique, what threatens it, and what virtues are needed to preserve it.
Why It Matters:
Declaration Statesmanship is more than a government course. It is a formation in the responsibilities of freedom. Students don’t just learn how America was founded—they are challenged to live as free men and women capable of leading with wisdom and virtue.
This is a truly enlightening and inspirational course. I am incredibly pleased to have come across it! Instead of merely referencing original sources, the course includes a reader that features them. It is so inspiring to read through the actual documents in their integrity, and not taken out of context to promote this or that liberal agenda. The course is easy to follow and has a simple layout. The only thing I would have changed is to have more vibrant, engaging illustrations and graphics, but there are some. This course will help form America's youth of tomorrow in truth and justice!
