The Academy also prepares those athletes for second meaningful careers in engineering, medicine, teaching, business, diplomacy, etc. The second mission of the Academy is to offer a new model for the teaching/learning enterprise and for financing public education for the 21st century.
This
new model is based upon a suggestion from Nobel Laureate
Milton Friedman that the child, as soon as his/her talents are
discovered, take charge of his her education and training by executing,
with the guidance of his/her parents, an "Educational Mortgage." That
"Educational Mortgage" qualifies every child for a first-class education
and removes government from the equation.
