Student Statesmanship Institute

From the SSI website:

The Seeds Are Sown
The Student Statesmanship Institute (SSI) is a dynamic Biblical worldview and leadership training program established by the Foundation for Traditional Values (FTV) to further the mission of affirming and restoring America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.
Through the years, thousands of adults benefited from FTV’s Greatest Story Never Told Seminars and materials, highlighting the central role played by Christian thought and ideas in the foundations of America. The fact that this nation has drifted far from those moorings over many decades makes it clear that restoring those moral foundations as a nation will be a long and incremental process.

The Birth of SSI
Where should this restoration start? With our own children, of course. As a direct response to requests from many parents, teachers and pastors, the Student Statesmanship Institute was launched to reach and train the next generation of American leaders.

From the Teen Impact website:
TeenPact is a comprehensive leadership experience that brings kids closer to Jesus Christ, makes them better leaders, and positions them to impact public policy in their state. During TeenPact, students meet important officials, interact with other like-minded students, and have more fun at the capitol than they could have ever imagined. Students leave inspired and challenged with an intensive desire to change America for Christ.

An Old Fashion Education is (according to their site) a directory of free homeschool curriculum. It is also one of my personal favorite sites. I can almost always find a resource through them. Their list of subjects is comprehensive and easy to use.

Not only are individual subjects plus complete curricula resources available, but they also have 40 week lesson guides for each grade level. You can teach your children practically for free! This is one homeschool resource no family should be without.

Ambleside is a schedule/guide and booklist. It was birthed from the Charlotte Mason educational philosophies. You should have an understanding of Mason’s vision if you decide to go this route.
Ambleside has her original and the modern English version of her works available for free online. (http://amblesideonline.org/CM/toc.html)

There are still books to purchase but you can also find some of these resources for free online.
