Mentoring Parents as Educators
At John Adams Academy®, we believe parents are not only supporters but the primary mentors in their children’s education. The Lyceum creates opportunities for parents to deepen their understanding of classical learning, embracing the principles of a leadership-based education. By continuing their own educational journey, parents enrich their lives and enhance their ability to guide their children through a meaningful academic experience.
When parents engage with classical texts, ideas, and discussions, they model a love of learning and a pursuit of truth. This sets a powerful example for their scholar(s), creating a home environment that reflects the same values taught at the Academy—virtue, wisdom, a commitment to excellence.
Understanding the “why” behind the curriculum empowers parents to connect more deeply with what their children are learning. It fosters thoughtful dialogue and reinforces the timeless principles at the heart of classical education.
Through mentoring parents as educators, John Adams Academy® cultivates a community where families grow together in character and knowledge. As parents pursue truth, beauty, and goodness in their own lives, they inspire their children to do the same—leading by example and reinforcing the enduring value of a classical education.
