Our impact on civic education
The Jack Miller Center was founded to address a critical problem: the disappearance of America’s founding principles and history from our nation’s classrooms. Now the American political tradition is a thriving academic field and advancing civic education at all levels.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve helped thousands of skilled scholars advance civic education in colleges, K-12 schools, and beyond.
Empowering teachers, inspiring students
At the Jack Miller Center, we believe in the power of good teaching. By investing in civic educators at all levels, we are helping teachers improve their own understanding of the ideas, texts, and history that defines our country.
That knowledge translates directly to the classroom, leading to better outcomes for both students and teachers.
Our movement reaches millions
Thanks to donor support, Jack Miller Center’s scholar network has expanded to 48 states and become a leading voice in the movement for a first-principles civic education.
