A Thomas Jefferson Education

What parent hasn’t thought: “My kids deserve better than this; …but this is all I know!

Parents and teachers often get so concerned with the “what” to teach that we neglect the “how” and the “why.” Yet these make all the difference between success and failure. Understanding them also creates happier, more empowered children.

TJEd gives you the “how” and the “why” to make the “what” more powerful, more memorable, and more relevant to your children.

Don’t settle for conveyor belt. Your kids need…

An Education to Match Their Mission.

As you apply the 7 Keys of Great Teaching and the 4 Phases of Learning your kids will love to learn, and you will inspire them and bring them face-to-face with greatness.

Does TJEd really work?

“Infinitely more than a curriculum. Because of TJEd, our family is stronger, happier, more confident, and more at peace.” -Stephen & Karina Palmer

“Our home is more peaceful, the children [are more] independently creative, our family has a greater feeling of unity.” -Trevan & Leslie Householder

“[Using] the TJEd book and related materials, my older children have been successful in Great Books programs in college.” -Andrew Pudewa

These books, CDs, and downloads provide the depth of knowledge you need to apply TJEd effectively in your home or school.

They expound on the 7 Keys of Great Teaching, the Phases of Learning, and the 3 Types of Education. They provide practical tips and exercises to make application easy and fun. Learn how to create a Mom School, lead a colloquium, organize a TJEd Closet or Bookshelf, teach math, science, writing and more from the classics, create a Scholar Contract, prepare for college, etc.

No one can deny the value of a great idea well-communicated. The inspiration, innovation and ingenuity inherent in great ideas elevate those who study them.

Great ideas are most effectively learned directly from the greatest thinkers, historians, artists, philosophers and prophets, and their original works.

Great works inspire greatness, just as mediocre or poor works usually inspire mediocre and poor achievement. The great accomplishments of humanity are the key to quality education.

A “classic” is a work — be it literature, music, art, etc. — that’s worth returning to over and over because you get more from it each time.
