Speaking of short-term education offerings like a 1 year stay, there is an interesting model to consider set up by Evangelical conservatives in the 60s called "the shelter": https://labri.org/.
To what extent can American farm- and pasture-land be rehabilitated? Can we go beyond rehabilitation, generating abundance while enriching the soil, rather than depleting it? What are the limits? In such a state, what should people in various locations eat? What opportunities exist for a flowering of local, idiosyncratic food cultures based on optimal land use?
1) a book drive for schools and libraries alongside the Rufo campaign against CRT and gender stuff - to counter the trans/drag stuff - with western lit - i.e. Homer, Shakespeare. reading hours.
this naturally segues into
2) greek/latin/classics club as a very harmless simple good pro-social foundation for any of the rw people to hang out a shingle and gather in real life. could be a more structured widely supported local thing if local people connect it to being 'against' the CRT stuff
As you say, eschewing accreditation would pose a challenge to students seeking a secure “return on investment” from their education. But if students took on projects with practical foci, they might be able to marshal support (in the form of capital, resources, etc.) and legitimating recognition from industry — as something akin to an internship, or even a start up incubator. Could such partnerships figure into your vision for MCC? Or would it be important to remain independent?
