Discipline is the Cornerstone of Freedom
Challenge I is the first year of formal high school work. Students discover that discipline is not the opposite of freedom — it is the cornerstone of it.
Speak with a Director
Every Challenge year integrates the same six strands — woven together by a single Director.
Algebra I and formal logic.
Biology with hands-on laboratory work.
Formal logic — building rigorous, defensible arguments.
American government, current events, and public policy debate.
Latin grammar — refining mastery and translating texts.
Literature and drama, with essay writing and rhetoric.
Students engage in public policy debates rooted in a Christian worldview — researching, constructing arguments, and presenting them with logic, conviction, and grace. American government documents become the lens through which they evaluate contemporary issues.
A look at how Directors guide students through dialectic and rhetoric across the Challenge years.
