TACOMA, Wash., April 28, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — This summer, American Faith Academy (AFA) is giving every K–12 family in America something most classrooms no longer offer: a serious, formation-focused civics course rooted in the virtues that built this nation. Launching June 1, America 250: A Monument of Virtue is available free to homeschool families, church-based schools, and hybrid learning communities nationwide. Open to all families, no enrollment required.
For parents who want their children to understand the American founding as a living inheritance and not just head knowledge, the course provides a structured, biblically grounded path. It is designed as formation, training the next generation to become faithful stewards of the truth, liberty, and virtue that define America’s founding.
Five virtues embodied in the National Monument to the Forefathers anchor the curriculum: Faith, Morality, Law, Education, and Liberty. Three age-appropriate levels, K–2, 3–6, and 7–12, meet students where they are and are designed to spark meaningful family conversation. Students come away with a working understanding of why America was founded, what it cost, and what it requires of the generation that inherits it.
“These ideas do not need to be sold to young people. They need to be taught. There is a difference,” said Jennifer Burns, Head of School at AFA and president of Excelara.org, whose platform supports the online academy and a growing network of church-based and hybrid schools nationwide. “We can hand our children a nation and assume they will figure it out, or we can form them to be worthy of it.”
The platform utilizes adaptive learning to draw answers out of students through guided Socratic questioning rather than providing answers, all within a defined Christian conservative worldview.
Register for the free course that begins June 1 at www.americanfaithacademy.org/american-250-course.
