High School Class Descriptions
Grades 9-12
This is where academic excellence meets vision, excitement, and direction. We believe that education is an interactive, immersive process that expands the whole self, not just hoops to jump through. Our high school classes challenge students to think critically, write persuasively, solve complex problems, align work with vision, and communicate with clarity and conviction. The learning environment is engaging and exploratory, with each course focused on building true mastery rather than perfection or surface-level completion. Our mission is that graduates leave high school with an internal drive for excellence in their pursuits & strong, influential leadership.

Power Hour | Proverbs: Wisdom That Leads
What does real leadership truly look like? Is it confidence, influence, success, or authority? The book of Proverbs offers something far deeper than outward traits—it offers wisdom. The kind of wisdom that shapes decisions, forms character, strengthens relationships, and prepares us to face real-life challenges with clarity and courage. This is not merely a study of verses—it is a training ground for leadership. Rooted in the signature Power Hour sense of community, this class creates a dynamic space for meaningful growth, deeper friendships, and shared pursuit of wisdom.
