Throughout the six levels of the Challenge Program, students hone six timeless tools of classical study: Logic, Grammar, Research, Reasoning, Exposition, and Debate. These tools develop as the students mature, as all six strands are woven together into a seamless conversation about Truth, Beauty, and Virtue.
In addition to weekly seminar classes, Challenge students participate in competitions and events with other students from across the Tulsa Metro area, including: Geography Bee, Mock Trial, Debates, Protocol, and an end-of-year formal event.
