The Classic Learning Test is challenging the SAT and ACT in the the USA, says the Wall Street Journal. This is great news for home learners and Classical Students! See the full Wall Street Journal article here!

Written by a first year Classical Conversations Victoria mother:

“Cool little story I wanted to share.

 I was at the park today  with my 5 year old and I was reading him the history of the park engraved on a rock there. He recognized the date 1859 and excitedly reminded me of his memory work and was able to relate that date with the age of Imperialism, British rule of India, and Queen Victoria! 

 This little moment really encouraged me that he will be able to relate more and more things in his own life & community to the bigger picture of history as he grows and learns! And that teaching a world history timeline to a 5 year old isn’t pointless. Go CC!”

Very excited to be offering both a Challenge A and Challenge I community for our teens this coming school year!  Check out what Middle school and Highschoolers are doing with classical learning in Victoria!

Senior Thesis Monday, November 12th, 8:00 – 9:00 PM EST Why a Senior Thesis?  The primary skill practiced in Challenge I-IV is rhetoric. We practice through speeches, debates, essays, research papers, and presentations. In Challenge IV, students participate in the capstone event of the Challenge program: the Senior Thesis. Students choose a research topic and develop it in a longer paper before presenting it and defending it before a thesis panel. Many former students note this as the highlight of their Challenge years. Join us for this webinar to discuss the Why, What and How of the senior thesis. Even if your students are years away from this experience, come and be inspired by what these Challenge students can do. Senior Thesis Webinar Register Here
