“I had no idea the magnitude of positive impact Patriot Academy would have on my life. It is the reason I now desire to practice law and eventually enter politics. Because of PA I’m active in policy making, and spoke before the FL Constitution Revision Commission. I would be doing none of this had it not been for Patriot Academy.”

“Attending Patriot Academy drastically changed my priorities. When I found out that the future of our nation was being threatened, I could no longer stand on the sidelines. PA showed me how to convincingly argue my opinion, effectively communicate my values, and preserve the United States Constitution.”

“Patriot Academy was truly a life-changing week for me that inspired and equipped me to engage the culture head on. Lives are impacted and champions are trained through the work of Patriot Academy and I am so grateful to be part of this great organization.”

“Patriot Academy challenged me to raise my standards, leave behind the limits of mediocrity, and join our Founding Fathers in standing for principle, truth, and reason. My experience at PA equipped me to fight for the traditional values and moral integrity of our nation. I left ready to seize back our constitutional republic.”

“Patriot Academy greatly strengthened my faith, my leadership skills, and my knowledge of the political system! I also made lasting friendships that have greatly encouraged me. Prior to attending Patriot Academy, I felt completely alone in my beliefs, but now, I truly understand how together, we can make a difference.”

“I have attended several mock Congresses and leadership conferences that were great experiences, but Patriot Academy is by far one of the best experiences of my life!! I quickly saw PA was more than just a mock legislature, it has a vision to train champions to change the world. My time at PA gave me a renewed excitement to stay in the fight for our country and culture.”

“I loved the experience Patriot Academy gave me. I had the chance to expand my horizons politically, strengthen my faith, and make many great new friends that also shared my same beliefs. I will definitely return to the Academy."

“Patriot Academy has brought my understanding and view of politics to a different level. It was a great experience that returned far above the hours and dollars that I spent in getting there. The staff was professional but friendly. The alumni really did a great job in coming along side us nervous freshman and helping us out. Using the Capitol and the real house floor provides a fresh perspective. It is the best political camp I have been to, and I am going back.”

“I grew up in a family of Liberals, and I used to think politics was boring and full of crooks, especially in the Conservative side of the spectrum. Maybe that’s being too honest about what I used to think, but because of PA, that has changed. Not only did I enjoy every moment of participating in the political process, but I made true friends, all of whom are Conservative! What an amazing week! I thank God for Patriot Academy!"

For a young person who is considering Patriot Academy, I would tell them…just do it. They will learn about themselves. They will see what they are really made of and what they really believe. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain; from knowledge, improved speaking and writing skills, to great new friends and future contacts, it all makes PA worth the funds and time.”

“Patriot Academy taught me to always research the issue and discover what the Bible says about it. The caliber of the teaching and the hands-on experience makes Patriot Academy truly unique.”

“Patriot Academy helped me realize the importance of limited government and it helped me define my view of politics.”

"At Patriot Academy I learned how to write a bill, how to present a bill, how ideas become law, about our founding principles, and what happens when these principles are ignored. All of these topics are important for politicians and average citizens who wishes to be active in maintaining the integrity of our government.”

“I work in the legislature now, and every time I go to work it feels like I’m at Patriot Academy! The process is IDENTICAL!”

“Patriot Academy is more than just an educational experience. It is a life-changing week that will challenge your belief system and build a strong foundation for the future. This academy is not only about politics, it is about finding out who you are and what you believe. I have never had a more edifying experience in my life.”

“When I first heard about Patriot Academy I was a little skeptical and didn’t really want to go. But once my parents convinced me to attend I was absolutely blown away. Now I think of what I would have missed if I hadn’t gone to Patriot Academy, and I hope there aren’t other students out there today who won’t go simply because they’re a little skeptical.”

“Patriot Academy was a tremendous opportunity to immerse myself in the life of a legislator. Debating in committee and on the House floor provided excellent interaction with other like-minded young people who want to make a difference. Relationships were forged that will last a lifetime.”

“In attending Patriot Academy you cannot fail. You will leave not only encouraged, but also impassioned and informed on how you can make a positive impact on America. Go to Patriot Academy. You can’t lose.”

“Patriot Academy was one of the greatest experiences of my life. If you are interested in politics at any level the days you spend at Patriot will help you the rest of your life.”

“If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be a legislator, and if you love meeting young people from across the nation, and if you want to improve your speaking skills, and if you wish you knew more about current issues and conservative solutions, and if you pray for America to return to her Biblical foundation, then Patriot Academy is for you! This unique mock-legislative session encompasses all of this and so much more!!”

“I have always been interested in government, but never knew how to be personally involved. Patriot Academy gave me so many new life skills. I learned how to take issues that are important to me and really make a difference in our government. I made friendships that will last a lifetime.”

“Patriot Academy amazingly filled in the gaps of our own lack of political and governmental knowledge, and sparked a desire for our entire family to become more involved in the details of politics. We’ve experienced nothing else that compares to the depth of learning, serious experiences and life-long mentors and friends that Patriot Academy provides – no matter your life purpose. Thank you Patriot Academy!!”

“We first attended the Patriot Academy banquet in 2010, and we were so blessed by the whole experience. It was truly uplifting to see our veterans treated with so much honor, and then to see them turn and show that same level of respect to the graduates of Patriot Academy. The whole evening was encouraging, inspiring, and gave a visionary perspective into the future of our nation! The next year, we brought friends and business associates, and encouraged parents to send students to Patriot Academy. We love how the week culminates in an amazing banquet celebration; making the week unforgettable. It’s something we would never miss!”

“When we picked our daughter up at the airport, we got back a different young lady. Jessica now stands taller, speaks with greater confidence, and thinks more clearly. She recently made a short speech in front of a group of strangers and did an absolutely wonderful job. She has made many great, quality friends. Jessica is anxiously anticipating next year. Patriot Academy greatly benefited our family and I recommend it wholeheartedly.”

“I truly believe that if a parent could understand the significance of what’s occurring here this week, and they could look backward in their life and didn’t take advantage of this, they would regret it forever.”

“The growth that I’ve seen in both of my sons half way through the week has been amazing for me!”
