Core Training Programs

Training the Whole Leader

Freedom Survives Only When People Know How to Defend It

True leadership is built when principles, process, and personal skills are integrated. This is the kind of training Patriot Academy provides.

Principles

Learn the philosophy that made America free – and how to recognize when it’s being replaced.

Process

Understand jurisdiction, consent of the governed, and how laws are actually made and challenged.

Personal Skills

Develop leadership, communication, and decision-making skills required to act – not just talk.

Our society lacks basic civics education & understanding the values that made America the most successful nation in history. Patriot Academy is teaching Americans how to approach government through the lens of the L.I.F.T. principles:

Limited Government

Why power must be restrained – and how expansion happens when citizens are uninformed.

Individual Liberty

The original intent behind speech, self-defense, property rights, and personal responsibility.

Free Enterprises

Why socialism fails, how markets work, and what Jefferson meant by the “Pursuit of Happiness.”

Timeless Truths

Biblical and rational arguments for life, marriage, and liberty – applied to today’s debates.

What Conservative Leaders are Saying About Patriot Academy

Trains America’s Future Leaders

“Principled leaders are not born, they are trained — just as Washington was trained by his mother, Madison by the Rev. John Witherspoon, Henry by the Rev. Samuel Davies – Patriot Academy trains America’s future leaders, equipping them with the worldview and skills necessary to effectively preserve the blessings of liberty that have shaped America for centuries.”

David Barton / Founder & President of WallBuilders

Effectively Equips People to Impact

“America has begun to move away from the principles of freedom that made it great. In order to preserve our liberties, we must have principled leaders willing to take a stand. Patriot Academy effectively equips people to impact the political arena, and become next-generation leaders who will defend faith, family, and freedom.”

The Honorable Mike Huckabee / Former Gov. of Arkansas

Firm Grounding in Our Founding Principles

“The Patriot Academy equips the youth of America with the firm grounding in our founding principles; necessary to understand freedom, liberty, and the demands required to secure those blessings for our posterity.”

The Honorable Louie Gohmert / First Congr. Dist. of Texas

Inspired by the Caliber and Quality of Young People
