WHY TEACH AYN RAND

More than 65,000 teachers have received 4,700,000 FREE Rand novels for their classrooms. Here’s why:

GRIPPING CONTENT Ayn Rand’s dramatic, thought-provoking novels appeal strongly to young readers and inspire classroom discussion around their highly-relevant themes.

QUALITY RESOURCES We provide dozens of resources to simplify teaching — from teacher’s guides and free videos to lesson plans and virtual sessions with an expert on Ayn Rand’s novels.

TRULY FREE This program is sponsored by fans of Rand’s novels who want to give students the opportunity to read and discuss them in school — there’s no cost to you.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOKS

“My students last year were fascinated with Anthem. We had lively discussions, and each of my students submitted very thought-provoking essays. Many students wanted to read more of Rand's work!”

9th/10th-grade teacher Teeland High School
Wasilla, AK

"It has been an amazing experience. The relevance of Rand’s novels continues to astound me as we discuss issues in the world today and in the students' lives. We are so grateful for this program."

9th-grade teacher Woodcrest Christian

“I have been teaching Anthem for three years, and it remains a favorite in my classroom. I have students who I taught three years ago that still come visit me and bring it up!”

10th/12th-grade teacher Floyd Central High School
Floyd Knobs, IN

“These novels have had a tremendously positive impact on my students. They open the door for thoughtful, provocative discussion and many of my students continue to share insights about the novels after they are out of my classroom.”

11th-grade teacher Coweta High School
Coweta, OK

“My students LOVE Rand's writing; they especially admire how her characters find what makes them unique and use their uniqueness to get ahead. Her books have led to many "adult" discussions in my high school classes. It's impressive.”

10th-grade teacher TERRA Environmental Research Inst.
Miami, FL

“It's been a wonderful experience that gets kids to think about who they are and who they want to become. I love how much they take from her books and how they are able to examine the world around them."
