The American Scholar Collective
Greetings! My name is Dr. Sagui Doering and I am the Founder and Leader of the American Scholar Collective LLC. As a seasoned and credentialed K-12 educational leader and administrator I am committed to enriching the homeschooling experience by empowering parents who are pursuing an alternative to the current educational system and who are seeking for their children to truly unleash their God-given potential. As a leader who has navigated every sector of education in the K-12 world, I am particularly led to join the homeschool effort in order to make a significant impact in helping parents who want to gain control of their children’s fundamental right to an EXCELLENT education via a homeschool experience.
My endeavor to launch The American Scholar Collective was born out of a desire for our next generation to be educated through homeschool resources that remain untainted from immorality, bias, indoctrination, and un-American ideologies. Equally important is my desire for our youth to be equipped with the knowledge and character that empowers them to live out their God-designed purpose, become beacons of light in this world, and express virtue through the preservation of our country’s heritage, which our Founding Fathers so zealously fought for. As such, I would love to partner with homeschool families who would like to benefit from expert support and advice to ensure that their children are not shortchanged from having access to the BEST homeschool educational opportunities.
