NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Classical School is pleased to offer a host of wonderful programs and activities each year for our students. The list below includes activities and events that have run in prior years and may continue again this year based on sufficient participation, supervision, and funds. If you are interested in presenting a new opportunity for our students, please contact our Principal, Thomas Bomann, at [email protected].

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
The statewide Battle of the Books’ program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students. It encourages students to read a variety of books and remember information about the plots, characters, and settings of the books. Every question asked in a battle is answered by the title and author of the book and takes the form of: Name the book in which a horse and a boy are stranded on an island. School districts throughout the state have used this fun, academic-based competition as a tool for encouraging students to read.

CHESS CLUB
We are in need of a coordinator in order to run the Chess club. Information on Chess Club will be sent home later in the school year based on available advisors.

FORENSICS
Classical students in grades 5 – 8 may participate on the Classical Forensics team. Students will participate in local competitions.

KIDSTAGE
KidStage® was founded in 1997 with the mission of providing K-12 grade students the opportunity to have their lives enriched through the performing arts. Self-expression, self-discovery, and personal growth are just some of the benefits of being involved in the performing arts. Practices run for 12 weeks with a performance at the end.
