Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

What happens when you hand high school students Aristotle, Aquinas, and Dante instead of dumbed-down material? According to teacher Jon Bishop, they respond with remarkable enthusiasm and depth.

With only 30% of American high school students reading at minimum proficiency standards across the Nation, skyrocketing mental health issues, and declining academic outcomes despite increased spending... Rather than following educational fads, John advocates returning to proven approaches that engage students' moral imagination and foster genuine human connection.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Jon shares how his "Human Flourishing" course creates space for students to engage with timeless texts through almost entirely student-led discussions. The results challenge popular assumptions about today's youth – today's teens are hungry for substance, meaning, and the language to express life's fundamental questions.

"These questions in human life are perennial," Jon explains.
