Dr. Duke Pesta is the founder and executive director of Freedom Project Academy. For the past 15 years, FPA has been providing a live, fully-accredited pre-K-12 online homeschooling platform to those seeking a classical education. In this in-depth conversation, Bill Jasper of The New American speaks with Pesta about his innovative approach and what sets it apart: real-time teachers, parental accountability, flexible learning tracks, and a curriculum grounded in moral principles. The discussion also addresses concerns about politicization in public education, the decline of academic rigor, and how alternative models like homeschooling, co-ops, and church partnerships can better prepare students to think critically rather than conform to modern, immoral ideologies.
