Why Reliance Day?
“The one easy way to become worth 50% more than you are now—at least—is to hone your communication skills.” – Warren Buffett
In today’s dynamic economy, technical skills alone are not enough. The true differentiator? The ability to think critically, solve complex problems creatively, and articulate ideas with clarity and conviction.
Reliance Day is built on the educational principles that have nurtured some of the world’s greatest thinkers and entrepreneurs. Andrew McAfee, author of The Geek Way, credits his Montessori education for fostering the creativity and independence that have shaped innovators like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Jeff Bezos. At Reliance College, we extend these methods into higher education, combining collaborative Socratic discussion, Great Books exploration, and collaborative inquiry to cultivate deep thinkers, agile leaders, and independent creators.
Instead of memorizing facts, you’ll engage, question, debate, and synthesize knowledge, strengthening the abilities most critical for success in a changing world.

Why This Matters
The data is clear: active learning through Socratic discussion dramatically improves critical thinking skills. Educational entrepreneur Michael Strong, advisor to Reliance College, has shown that students trained in Socratic Practice achieve cognitive skill gains between 30% and 84% in just one year. One school’s 9th graders progressed from below the national average to outperforming 12th graders in critical thinking.
In a future where machines are increasingly handling technical tasks, it’s original thought, deep reasoning, and the ability to integrate complex ideas that will set true leaders apart.
