ESSENTIALS PROGRAM
The Essentials Workspace
A Full Year of Grammar Practice in One Book
Students need consistent daily grammar practice, but assembling and printing it all is costly and hard to sustain week after week.
The Essentials Workspace delivers a full year of daily grammar practice in one ready-to-use book. Parents can start on day one with nothing to assemble, allowing more time to teach and enjoy watching their student’s confidence and grammar skills grow week by week.
CHALLENGE A–I
Common Latin
Learn Latin Together Through Scripture
Common Latin brings families and communities together to master the skills of a classical linguist through studying the Latin Vulgate together. Students and families gain new insight into Scripture, understand English better through its Latin roots, and study together instead of using separate curricula for each age.

CHALLENGE PROGRAM
Copper Lodge Library Editions
Build Your Family Library
The Copper Lodge Library brings back the forewords, footnotes, maps, and glossaries that make difficult, worthy texts approachable at home. Each student-friendly edition keeps the work’s full depth and historical context. Because every student reads from the same edition, families can dig in at home and come to community ready to discuss it together.
In The Story of My Life, students come away with a richer understanding of Helen Keller’s story and greater confidence discussing its themes in Challenge I.
In Beowulf, students read the poem the way the poet first sang it and dive deeper into humanity’s need for a true Hero in Challenge II.
Each becomes a lasting edition in your family’s home library.
CHALLENGE II
The Math Map Polynomials
One Math Conversation for the Whole Family
Most modern math curricula neither teach algebra the way people naturally learn nor let students at different levels share one conversation.
TMM Polynomials gives Challenge II families a unified, classical curriculum that teaches multi-term polynomial computation in a way students intuitively understand. Students confidently factor, analyze, and graph polynomials, while families at every level finally share one math conversation on community day.
The paired Geometry and Relations flashcard sets build fluency with the language of mathematics for any age.
CHALLENGE IV
The Senior Thesis Packet
One Shared Road Map Through the Capstone Project
The Senior Thesis project brings together the reading, writing, and speaking skills built across the Challenge years, but its larger scope and unfamiliar defense day can leave students and families unsure how to prepare.
This packet gives every participant a single shared road map and set of resources for the entire Senior Thesis process, aligning expectations at home, in community, and on defense day. Each Challenge IV group moves through the Senior Thesis together, and your student finishes strong, carrying the confidence of that accomplishment into every chapter ahead.
