Taking the mythical phoenix as a metaphor for rebirth, this vision of education upholds the following ideals:
- Parental Choice and Responsibility to make decisions about where and how their child should be educated;
- Transparency and Accountability on the part of schools, who are aiding parents, not replacing them;
- Truth and Goodness, an education grounded in reality and morality;
- Cultural Transmission including our national heritage, broader Western and Judeo-Christian values, and humanity’s overall learning and wisdom;
- Character Formation to train self-governing and virtuous citizens;
- Academic Excellence and rigor in foundational subjects to ensure students reach their full potential; and
- The importance of Citizenship, including civic rituals, an understanding of the founding documents, and civic virtues such as civil disagreement.
