He was very interested in schooling, but did not think much of the schools in the Colonies. He believed ignorance to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the defects of educational institutions modeled on European settings and curriculum.

The focal point of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library. And so he founded the University of Virginia.
