Jefferson Preparatory School Philosophy
The name of Jefferson has been carefully chosen to be the first impression created in the minds of our community. We believe Jefferson, particularly in The Declaration of Independence, represents the pinnacle of social philosophy. Though he himself humbly and readily credited ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Cicero, and the more modern John Locke, for foundational ideas, none of them achieved the beautiful and universally impacting cadences of truth that Jefferson did.
Jefferson Prep teaches principles that provide the foundation for critical thinking skills. We require scholars to utilize those foundational principles to think, critique, and act for themselves, thus pushing scholars toward individual success. Together, those foundational building blocks form the acronym FREEDOM.
