Coming Fall 2026
In Consultation with Wilfred M. McClay
The Official Land of Hope Curriculum provides a robust, narrative-driven framework for the study of American history. Developed in direct consultation with historian Wilfred M. McClay, this curriculum translates the “honest but affirmative” philosophy of the acclaimed text into a comprehensive classroom experience. It invites students to move beyond the mere memorization of facts to an encounter with the individuals and ideals that define the American quest for liberty.
Rooted in the same pedagogical excellence as our broader humanities offerings, the Land of Hope curriculum features richly detailed lesson plans, primary source explorations, and interpretive guidance. It equips teachers to present the American story in all its complexity and grandeur, encouraging students to take up their roles as informed and purposeful citizens in an ongoing national legacy.
