Having earned a MEd in English, Robert W. Watson teaches at the high school and college levels. Course concentrations include ancient, American, and British literature; rhetorical writing; and Western philosophy.

Watson previously developed a course in philosophy, Ever Learning: The History and Fundamentals of Western Philosophy, which centered on the popular book, Sophie's World. In line with his advocacy for home education, Watson authored Critique of Pure Education: A Philosophy for the Home Educator, which defines a foundational curriculum for truly educating students.
