Oliver DeMille is an American author, educator and public speaker.

Works
DeMille promotes an educational paradigm known as Thomas Jefferson Education (also known as Leadership Education or "TJEd", pronounced "tee-jay-Ed"). Most of his works, whether philosophical, political or educational, promote his view that the state of modern education is not favorable for reliably producing principled leaders of the caliber of Thomas Jefferson, while also conveying an overview of his philosophies and prescriptions for how individuals can provide themselves with a quality self-education and/or select an institution that will deliver an excellent learning experience. He asserts that a classical, mentored education empowers the individual to successfully meet the challenges of the time — whether as an educator, an entrepreneur, a community leader or a parent.
