Oratory Program -- March 9
Our Oratory Program will be taking place on Thursday, March 9. This event is a chance for our older students to demonstrate their speaking and communication skills as the culmination of the three stages of classical learning: knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
Featuring our Rhetoric students, the program will consist of various readings from famous literature, historical speeches, dialogues, and passages of scripture. Students will be assigned their readings shortly and should begin the process of learning these. Rehearsal dates and times will be forthcoming.
Spring Follies -- Thursday, April 6
The funniest show of the year is approaching once more! Spring Follies is a highlight of the school year and this year is happening on Thursday, April 6. There will also be no school on Friday in observance of Good Friday.
As preparations ratchet up over the next few weeks, students will have lines to learn, props to help make, and acting to master. Follies is a highlight for everybody, and we love the sense of fun and community that it builds as we all laugh together!
