Leadership in Every Arena
Classical education is sometimes called “leadership education” because it builds skills needed for leadership: logic, debate, public speaking, class reasoning, researching, writing, and communicating.
These skills are practiced in every subject which prepares students to become leaders in any field they pursue. ACA offers opportunities for students across a wide number of disciplines including:
Academic Competitions and Enrichment: chess club, spelling and reading bees, composition contests, Youth and Government, robotics, student council, National Junior Honor Society, GeomeTRY, Campus Ambassadors, and Odyssey of the Mind, a creative problem-solving competition for students of all ages.
