Six Strands

What's Covered This Year

Every Challenge year integrates the same six strands โ€” woven together by a single Director.

Logic

Pre-calculus and calculus.

Research

Physics and natural science.

Reasoning

Psalms and Old & New Testament study.

Debate

World history and public speaking.

Grammar

Latin translation โ€” including Virgil's Aeneid.

Exposition

Ancient Greek and Roman literature in a biblical framework.

Signature Event

Senior Thesis

Every Challenge IV student produces and defends a senior thesis โ€” a culminating piece of original research and writing that integrates everything they've learned. It is the moment our students step from being learners to becoming articulate leaders.
