20 Years of Academic Excellence

20 Years of Courageous Leadership: The Daeley Liberty Lions

Justin Daeley is a former professor at the University of Northwestern in St. Paul. He's also a Liberty dad. An interesting aspect of his story is that he became Liberty dad because he's a university professor. Here's that story:

Dr. Daeley tells a compelling tale of a student who was particularly capable. He was so curious about this well-rounded, well-spoken, academically capable, and socially aware young lady that he asked her more about her story. And, as you've probably figured out by this point, her story includes Liberty Classical Academy.

It was this student and this conversation that caused him to become a part of our community by enrolling his own children at the school. In his time at the collegiate level, he's seen hundreds of students at all levels and abilities, and so it wasn't just her grade point average and intelligence that captured his attention.

It was her ability to do well in her work, communicate her position, and engage those around her. It was her perspective, her reflections, and her capacity. In a word, it was her wisdom, which was an unexpected delight for someone of her age. And that's the type of student we're developing here at Liberty Classical Academy.

We're thankful for 20 years of academic excellence and how that manifests in universities and beyond. We're thankful for our committed instructors who each day pursue the goal of moving students past knowledge and into wisdom.
