Perfect for Catholic and Classical high schools seeking to unite rigor, faith, and civic responsibility, this program helps cultivate the next generation of leaders—citizens grounded in truth and prepared to defend liberty.

Declaration Statesmanship: A One-of-a-Kind American Government Course

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
