OUR MISSION
Agriculture and Farming
We believe that agriculture, farming, and animal husbandry are essential to independent, sustainable living. We promote natural processes, steering clear of chemical pesticides and GMO's. Our goal is to inspire a new generation of independent minded, self-sufficient farmers that embrace the methods our ancestors understood, while using new technology and innovation to produce abundant, healthy, and marketable crops.
Entrepreneurship
​
The concepts of entrepreneurship and sound business development are intertwined into every educational discipline American Genesis promotes. We focus on training students to identify consumer needs and then provide turn-key solutions to those needs. Training will also focus on the fundamental business disciplines of... concept and development, marketing, product consistency, financial management, and customer service. The goal of this training is to empower students to envision and create practical, successful businesses.
The Trades
​
At American Genesis we believe that the trades and working with your hands is becoming a lost art. In order to restore and advance the skill sets and lucrative professions that built America, we work to introduce students to businesses and trade professionals for the purposes of training and internships. These businesses and trade professionals are uniquely qualified to introduce students to their perspective trades. At American Genesis, we envision that students who have decided upon a specific trade will have already served in an internship program with the goal of being a fully employed trade apprentice at their time of graduation.
Character
Honor, respect, discipline, a strong and committed work ethic, self-confidence tempered with deference and mercy, independent and critical thinking, honesty, moral courage. At American Genesis, we believe that character and self-confidence are foundational to success in every aspect of life. All American Genesis educational programs will be infused with these truths. This West Point Ceremonial Prayer from a different era is a favorite of ours and offers additional perspective and beauty:
“Make us choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Never be content
with half-truth when whole truth can be won. Endow us with courage that is
born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice
and injustice and knows no fear when right and truth are in jeopardy.”
Community
At American Genesis, we believe that true community is the foundation of a sustainable and resilient society. Drawing inspiration from the Amish culture, we strive to create an environment where people care for one another, exchange ideas, protect one another, and work together for the greater good. We also put a high priority on building and supporting local businesses. There is great strength and joy when like-minded people come together in a common bond and purpose. These truths have remained foundational throughout history and when embraced, lead to a healthy and civil society.
