Overview of
Challenge Program
A Look at Challenge
This page has many videos about Classical Conversations Challenge Program. Challenge covers 7-12th grade, and is the only program that your highschooler needs. You will not need to add any additional science, literature or philosophy, debate, science fair - anything! If these videos look overwhelming, PLEASE remember that our Foundations program is the only thing you need to do with your 4-12 year old to prepare for Challenge. CC has put this program together in such a seamless way that we can REST in the assurance that we are not forgetting anything, leaving big gaps in education, or leaving anything out. The last video on this page shows the CC Seniors - nearly ready to go off to college - and their readiness to deal with big ideas and issues that we know they will face as they enter public education and society for the first time as adults. The CC program prepares them in a way that will help you to be confident you are giving them the best education available!
