In this episode, Jan Jekielek talks to Mikhaila Peterson, co-founder and CEO of Peterson Academy, an alternative educational model that she says is affordable, interactive, and free from political bias.

“Part of the reason we put this together was to try to give people an education that’s just true, we hope—so what you’re supposed to be learning in history and in humanities and in science, math, etc.—just basic education,” Peterson says.

“We’re getting top professors from institutions and we’re not telling them how to teach. We’re saying, ‘Teach this course if it was exactly the way you’d want to teach it, without guidelines from somebody else put on you.’ And we have chosen professors carefully that don’t have a political bent. So it’s mostly trying to avoid woke ideology and politics in courses that shouldn’t necessarily be political. That’s how we’re trying to navigate it.”
