Give your kids what you loved about your own childhood. Do not raise your children to be screen addicts or second-class citizens to AI. Move your family to New Athens to prepare your children for full lives of adventure and flourishing. As you relied on your parents, your children are counting on you to make the best decisions for them. We invite you to join us.
In: Beautiful neighborhoods designed for “be back before dinner” childhood adventure. Inexpensive, well-built, large houses built by locals. Good neighbors. Full churches. A thriving economy of businesses that put people before AI. Good jobs—and good part-time jobs. Clean food. Brave writers, tangible art, and music that sounds good. A nightlife. Old-school public schools: great teachers, high standards, no nonsense. And a city government mandated to increase the number of families that choose to live on a single income.
Our goals include:
revive pre-smartphone childhood oriented around outdoor play and healthy risk taking
restore the original promise of public schools: high expectations liberal arts and sciences to prepare men and women of character to prosper and positively contribute to civic life
enable families comfortable standard of living on a single income
discourage addictions, new and old: pornography, social media, online gaming, gambling, and chemical drugs
“Be back by dinner!,” said your mom, and then you roamed with friends, learned more about the world than you did at school, then stumbled home for dinner sweaty, exhausted, and full of stories.
It’s our moral obligation as parents to provide our children an environment in which they can develop normally.
What’s here for you:
Move here and enroll your children in the New Athens classical school system.
