I’m thankful to live in the freest, most blessed nation the world has ever known. May God continue to bless these United States of America and may we continue to stand as a light upon a hill for generations to come!

New Year, new approach. Rather than a typical school leaders meeting, we grouped our school leaders to visit their peer schools. Through conversations, classroom observations, and activities, the groups shared best practices and came together to transform a generation.

This week, the Institute team is offering boots-on-the-ground support to one of our new schools, the Willie Jeffries School of Excellence. WJSE will open in just under two weeks to students in grades K-6. We can’t wait to see how the Eagles will #MoveTheNeedle in Orangeburg!

Busy week at the Institute! Premiered our original documentary yesterday, & today our Ambassadors visited the State House to learn about legislation & advocacy. These events remind us of our responsibility to teach the next generation to live well and become productive citizens.

I enjoyed meeting with the young leaders in the Student Government program at American Leadership Academy - Lexington. We had a great conversation about the uniqueness and importance of American exceptionalism, leadership, culture, and education.

What an honor to celebrate a special school - @heronacademysc, a virtual AEC that opened last year and celebrated its first graduates last night. Thank you to SC Learns & Supt. @ellenfored for reminding us why we do this work - to help every student realize their potential.

We were excited to welcome our new Charter School Student Ambassador candidates to the office for their presentations. It was wonderful to learn more about what their charter school means to them. We look forward to the continued growth and expansion of the Ambassador program!

Success is never an accident!
Our Institute-wide Academic Showcase was an incredible opportunity to celebrate our schools' successes from last school year. Our leaders, faculty members, and students were recognized in "the Erskine way" for Moving the Needle at their schools! Photos: https://t.co/eAqtqf3R4U

America and South Carolina stand firm with the State of Israel. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization funded by the sworn enemies of both our nations. The people of Israel have our prayers and our unconditional support.
