  • Summary

  • Linda Pryor, Executive Director of the Center for Mission & Academics at Brookfield Academy, begins Season 5 of her podcast with an amazing guest, Dr. Wilfred McClay. Dr. McClay wrote Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story and the book was recently added to the Middle School History curriculum at BA.

    The conversation provides a glimpse into this fascinating scholar and why the book has recieved such positive reviews. Here is one such review:

    “We’ve long needed a readable text that truly tells the American story, neither hiding the serious injustices in our history nor soft-pedaling our nation’s extraordinary achievements. Such a text cannot be a mere compilation of facts, and it certainly could not be written by someone lacking a deep understanding and appreciation of America’s constitutional ideals and institutions. Bringing his impressive skills as a political theorist, historian, and writer to bear, Wilfred McClay has supplied the need.”― Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University

    Listeners will get a sense of the extent of consideration BA administrators and teachers put into selecting texts for the curriculum at all Levels of the school.

    Brookfield Academy was recently ranked the #1 Private School in Wisconsin by Niche for the 4th year in a row.

    The book is availabe from Amazon or a bookseller near you.
