Leadership Parenting

* It is highly recommended that all students take the courses A Thomas Jefferson Education and The Seven Lesson School Teacher first before any others as these contain the foundation for all of the other courses.

“I recently completed the Monticello College Leadership Parenting class, "The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher." The books that we read were so meaningful and helpful to me. It's like the light finally got turned on for me and I understand what it is that I need to be doing with my children now instead of public school. All of my best hopes for the kind of education that I want to give to them have been clarified and validated.
  “'Dumbing Us Down', I wanted to underline the whole book. 'How Children Learn', I have never spent so much mental energy and effort reading through a book that was sort of boring and hard for me to get through, and yet loved it so much at the same time. It's a strange contradiction, nevertheless, I was in tears by the end (not tears of boredom).

“Dr. Brooks provides a breath of fresh air, regarding organic TJEd! Involved in the creation of it, and having used it with his own children as well as college students; he provides encouragement for the young and old, home educating moms that are searching for something greater for their children in regards to education and beyond. He is truly a great mind and I’m thankful for the opportunity to be mentored by him.” ~ Crissy

“Leadership Parenting with Dr Brooks was an easy, comfortable transition, into taking the time to focus on MY education; and has made me really start thinking about what I want to learn and how to get there instead of continuing to bemoan my lack of one! The Online class was easy, even for this non-techie mom with a screaming toddler (mute buttons are great) running around. I loved being encouraged by moms that have been implementing TJEd for awhile, as well as hearing the fears of those just beginning. Dash over and sign up! You won’t be disappointed! After all… where else can you learn Tools of Leadership while wearing Smurf PJ pants?” ~ Melissa

“Thank you for all you do. Thank you for “introducing” us all to Dr. Brooks. Our “homeschool” experience would be a very sad thing without my mind being opened this way. My 4-year-old, not knowing what it meant, told someone we did “Leadership Education” when he was asked about going to school. Simple… not easy… for sure!” ~ Morgan

“After 21 years of private and public school experience, I gained a new perspective on the fundamental purpose of education, teaching and mentoring. I am interested in this approach and how it can empower my own child and the students I reach on a daily basis. I hope to continue to research this method and the benefits of Leadership Education.” ~Racquel

“What you do now in the walls of your own home is the most important work you will ever do.” ~Dr. Shanon Brooks
