The building houses a library as well as state-of-the-art classrooms and labs for their nationally accredited school.

Founded by gold medalist Paul Anderson and his wife, Glenda, 40 years ago, the home cares for 20 young men at a time and has served more than 1,000 over the years.

"It allows us to have a school where we can meet each young man where he is academically and challenge him to move as rapidly as he can in each subject area," explained the home's vice president, Truett Andrew

At one time, Paul Anderson held the title as the world's strongest man. Glenda and their family have continued to operate the home since Paul's death in 1994.
