Founders Carrollton focus on attributes like integrity, patience, self-control, thoughtfulness, justice, humility, prudence, and gratitude, just to name a few. We have conversations about these virtues, practice them every day, and help each other learn how these characteristics help us be better human beings.
Founders Carrollton follow a curriculum organized from a historical timeline focused on the human experience and our pursuit of virtue and liberty. This allows for subjects to integrate into one another, support each other, and create a well-rounded education focused on the students becoming inquisitive. Another difference in the curriculum is the emphasis on books that support this pursuit.
Founders Classical Academies derive their names due to the emphasis on the American experiment in self-government. This aspect makes a Founders school different from many other classical schools. We are interested in developing responsible adults who do not require a strong government to tell them what to do. They understand their rights and their obligations. They value contribution, and they take action when appropriate.
