Freedom Provides Opportunities for Noble Choices
Challenge II is the year of awakening. Students begin to grasp that the freedom they've earned through discipline now opens up the possibility of noble — or ignoble — choices.
Speak with a Director
Every Challenge year integrates the same six strands — woven together by a single Director.
Algebra II and advanced mathematical reasoning.
Chemistry with laboratory experimentation.
Logic progressing to Socratic dialogue and Platonic texts.
Western cultural history and analysis of seminal ideas.
Advanced Latin grammar — translating original texts.
Classical British literature; rhetoric and elocution.
Local directors host a yearly formal event — Protocol — where Challenge students learn how to engage with their communities and each other with grace, confidence, and old-fashioned good manners. A real-world capstone of social and rhetorical formation.
