Built on the premise that free people build things together
Vision 1804 was founded on a single conviction: constitutional literacy and economic agency are not separate disciplines. They are two readings of the same foundational question.
Rules your students will inherit — and write
The curriculum is designed for students who will one day sit in deliberative rooms and make consequential decisions. We start from the documents that structure civic and economic life.
Constitution and commerce are taught in parallel — not as history, but as actionable frameworks. Every session asks: what does this clause require, and what does this market signal mean?
What students can argue and do
Progress is measured by output: a defended business plan, a constitutional brief, a community project with real stakeholders. Small-group intellectual work produces students who can hold a position under scrutiny.
See the work students actually do
Each program track is built from primary sources and real decisions. Review the curriculum and see what your student will read, debate, and produce over the summer.
