Education

Liberty Public School District is the reason young families choose the Liberty area for their homes.   Liberty Public School District has been recognized locally, state-wide and nationally as a premier public school district as evidenced by awards such as the Prestigious "Distinction in Performance Award." In late February the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education selected 181 of Missouri's 524 public school districts to receive its new "Distinction in Performance" award, given to districts that demonstrate consistent gains in academic performance.

Post-Secondary

Liberty offers post-secondary education as well - William Jewell College is located just east of the historic downtown square. William Jewell is one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges. We aren't the only ones who say so . . . .
WJC made the Forbes Magazine list of America's Best Colleges in 2009. 
Jewell has been recognized as one of "America's Best Colleges 2008" by US News & World Report. 

It was named by The Princeton Review as one of “The Best 366 Colleges” in its 2008 edition. Only about 15% of the four-year colleges in the U.S. appear in the student survey-based rankings. Princeton also listed William Jewell in America’s “Top Ten Best Values” among all private colleges and universities in 2006.
