Ayn Rand’s novels changed how I look at the world and opened my eyes to compelling and insightful storytelling. It is my hope that these books will inspire my students to be lifelong learners, and to see the value of asking poignant questions about the world at large.

Teaching Anthem

I have been teaching Anthem for 10 years. It remains a favorite amongst my students year after year. It teaches them to open their minds and their eyes to the world. To choose and not be chosen for. To move and not be pushed. A real culture influencer.

The results speak for themselves. Not only have my students shown remarkable improvement in their comprehension and analytical skills, but they've also developed a genuine enthusiasm for literature that extends beyond the classroom.

Teaching Anthem

I received a free copy of The Fountainhead in high school from a teacher who participated in this program and it changed the course of my life. I am now an ELA teacher myself and was so thrilled to find out this program is still available.
