Liberty Academy

NOTE: We’re launching a completely redesigned Learn Liberty Academy, a free series of experimental 3-week-long interactive online programs taught by university-affiliated professors from across the nation. Sign up now!

Learn Liberty Academy learning paths will soon be retired. Thank you for everyone who participated. We’re look forward to seeing you at our new Learn Liberty Academy.

Liberty Academy offers learning paths to help you navigate the ideas of liberty through specific disciplines. Each learning path contains about 10 lessons in a suggested order. Each lesson has four parts: a video, suggested resources, questions, and a discussion area.

In a short amount of time—about an hour for each learning path—you can improve your understanding of liberty and discover where to learn more.
