The Mission of George Wythe College:
To build men and women of virtue, wisdom, diplomacy, and courage who inspire greatness in others and move the cause of liberty.
Any encounter with the history of modern civilization is an encounter with the lives of men and women who took the tide in men's affairs at the flood, capitalized upon the moment, and shifted the river of futurity in its course. Among these may be named conquerors and capitalists, politicians and priests, reformers and revolutionaries. And amidst them all, none stands taller than the American Founders as icons of human greatness. This peculiar moment in time produced not one, but a small army of statesmen -- Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Adams, Madison, Monroe, and dozens more -- men and women of vision, virtue, wisdom, diplomacy and courage, who forever changed the course of human history and redefined true liberty for generations yet unborn.
Today's political, economic, and social challenges are no less daunting than those that spawned the Republic. Governments, businesses, schools, churches and other institutions worldwide need men and women of high moral character, sound intellectual understanding, and principled action to lead the way. But where will these statesmen be found?
George Wythe College stands on the belief that statesmanship is the product of a particular educational schema, known to the Framers of the Constitution, but lost to modern academia. It is a principle-centered process grounded in the belief in God and immutable moral law, framed on the classics of literature, history, and philosophy, and crowned in the discipline of real-world application under the guidance of a committed and caring mentor.
This was the education of Thomas Jefferson and others under the guiding hands of George Wythe. Today, it will be your privilege if you have the desire, determination, and character to meet the most intense and exciting educational challenge imaginable at George Wythe College. Having done so, you can be assured of a rich and satisfying life of contribution in whatever path you choose to follow.
The 5 Pillars of Statesmanship'
Classics, because they represent the best mankind has yet produced in science, philosophy, religion, and art. The centerpiece of classical education is the Holy Bible, the standard against which all other works are measured. To study the classics is to come "face to face" with greatness.
Mentors are essential because character cannot be constructed from even the greatest books alone. The guidance of a committed, caring, and seasoned mentor brings tempering influences of wisdom, counsel, discipline and accountability.
Simulations allow for vicarious problem-solving experience in areas such as government, business, even home and family without the risks commonly associated with inexperience.
Field Experience, including internships and practicum, offers a two-fold advantage, both to the student and to the institution served. Students mature as Statesmen only by applying learned principles to real-world problems.
God. Undergirding and overarching all, is the certainty that the Creator has purpose in His creation. That rights, reason, and liberty derive not from man, but from God. This perspective takes man out of the center of his own existence and defines the Statesman as servant rather than master. It simultaneously enshrines free will and individual liberty under God, as the crowning virtue. |
