Revitalizing Civic Knowledge for the Rising Generation
The future of our republic depends upon a successful transfer of knowledge to those who will soon lead it. Currently, that transfer is at risk. Founders’ Five™ exists to reverse the erosion of civic understanding by anchoring the rising generation in the foundational principles of the American Founding.
Civic literacy cannot be a periodic elective; it must be a daily habit. Through consistent, five-minute daily touchpoints, we provide The Nation’s students with the intellectual tools to understand their history and the civic character to shape their future. We are not merely providing a curriculum; we are safeguarding the next generation of American citizenship.
National Prestige for The Nation’s Rising Generation
Founders’ Five™ operates in exclusive collaboration with the National Constitution Center, the nation’s leading non-partisan institution for constitutional education. This partnership ensures that The Nation’s rising generation benefits from:
Scholarly Rigor: Historically accurate content vetted by experts to ensure a balanced and thorough understanding of our Founding.
Non-Partisan Foundation: A focus on the text of the Constitution, ensuring that students learn how to think critically about our governing documents without ideological bias.
Institutional Excellence: Bringing the resources of Philadelphia’s Independence Mall directly to the desks of The Nation's students.
