Our Mission
To date, thousands of applications have been received and over 1,600 students have graduated.
The Academy teaches that the Bible, Jesus Christ, has riches beyond the count of math, the measurement of reason, and the height of dreams - that which the Apostle Paul terms in Ephesians 3:8 as “the unsearchable riches of Christ.”
Lessons from 110+ years in the Marketplace
Christian Worldview
​The principles taught at the Academy, the lessons imparted and the examples given, stem from a Christian worldview of the marketplace. The course is relevant and significant for anyone, irrespective of worldviews.
​
The wisdom of man is too often an impediment rather than an assistant to God’s purposes. Often, it is our talents that hinder us rather than aid our efforts. Biblical wisdom corrects these imbalances.
Learning Through Discovery
It is a well-known fact that people remember more if they participate in discovering the solutions to the workplace challenges they may encounter.
​​
Where Universities teach academic theory, this Academy focuses on real life issues and practicalities. The relationship between theory and practice will always be reciprocal and necessary, being opposite sides of the same coin.
Paying It Forward
The Hollywood movie, ‘Pay It Forward’, made the principle of paying it forward famous.
This principle is, in fact, a very old one that asks the recipient of a good deed to repay the benefit to others instead of to the original giver.
Ethos
The Academy has already earned its stripes since 2003, its one of the most successful ventures of House of Louis.
​
For this reason, there is no need to doubt the Academy’s bona fides. Participation costs you nothing but your time, and we can assure you that the experience is truly transformative.
