LAUREA IN EDUCAZIONE LIBERALE

Our on-campus studies are one-of-a-kind, combining a classical liberal arts curriculum, world-class mentors, real day-to-day farm work, and a natural mountain setting rivaled by none. This is a four-seasons campus. At 7,400 feet above sea level, the natural setting has unparalleled beauty, nestled as we are in the eastern foothills of our beloved Blue Mountains.

We stand on the belief that the original American Founder leadership was the product of a particular educational system, known to the great leaders of the past, but mostly lost to modern academia.

It is a principle-centered process grounded in the belief in God and immutable moral law, framed on the classics, and crowned in the discipline of real-work and self-reliance under the guidance of committed and caring mentors.

Monticello College builds Americans by providing a Liber education based on the liberal arts and the manual arts. History, literature, science, foreign language, philosophy, leadership training, and a number of other subjects are taught while living on and operating the farm where we grow most of the food that our students and faculty consume during the school year.

An intense application of both the liberal and manual arts is required to fulfill our mission “to build men and women of virtue, wisdom, diplomacy, and courage who inspire greatness in others and move the cause of liberty.”

Our graduates enter the post-college world with a skill set that gives them the option of not seeking a job, but rather empowers them to create a self-supporting business and living situation that is completely independent. Financial and living independence always comes before political independence.
