Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI)
Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI) is an organization dedicated to the training of mentors in "A Thomas Jefferson Education" philosophy and methodology. LEMI trains mentors how to bridge the gap between wanting an excellent, broad liberal arts education (the education of these great leaders) and getting one. LEMI has done extensive research and study on educational trends, systems, goals, methodology and philosophy. Their goal is to help parents and teachers change the direction of the future by providing education tools for families to provide leadership scholar education to their children. They focus on the Scholar Phase years—the years between 12 and 17—when a youth should begin to gain a breadth and depth of knowledge from the classics. You can find them online at lemiinstitute.com.
