“I believe that small schools of higher education, that educate rather than train, are the last, best hope we have of saving education in this country. And in a democracy, saving education is tantamount to saving the country. It doesn’t matter how good the economy is, or how comfortable we are, or how many houses we own; if our students can’t read Jefferson and Madison, if they can’t understand something about the Enlightenment philosophies that inspired Jefferson and Madison, if they never read Shakespeare or listen to a Mozart string quartet, if they aren’t capable of being moved by great art or don’t read about the history of the world’s great cultures, then our democracy won’t survive. Democracies rely on people who not only know how to do things but also why they should be done.” ~ James Harrison
Rather than educate students for a
single job market, we prepare them to
adapt, lead, and think clearly across a lifetime.
These skills allow for the best possible defense
against an ever-changing job market.

“I am choosing to attend [John Adams] College for several significant reasons. One of those reasons is that I want to receive a meaningful and rich education–even if it is not at a well-known or prestigious institution. I do not believe that the age or reputation of a school is as essential to a good education as is an intentional and principled faculty and a curriculum of original, timeless sources and classic origin (not canned textbooks that become obsolete within a few years), not to mention deeply-held values. [John Adams] has these characteristics.”
