11th and 12th Grade Seminars

Sacramental Imagination

with Laura Miller

In this seminar, students will encounter the doctrines of the Catholic Church not as abstract formulas, but as mysteries lived out in time—fleshed in story, formed under pressure, and illuminated through beauty.

Studio Art

with Andrew Carr

“Fine art,” said the Victorian art critic John Ruskin, “is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart go together.” In this seminar, students will cultivate each of these fundamental aspects of art. Through the study of portraiture, still life, and landscape, they will develop their capacity to see, think, feel and create.

Wrestling with the Human Condition

with Dr. Matt Briel or Ellie Peters

In this rich humanities seminar, students engage primarily with four towering masterpieces—Hamlet, Macbeth, The Divine Comedy, and The Brothers Karamazov—as they confront the deepest questions of the human experience: justice, guilt, free will, redemption, and the presence (or absence) of God.

Calculus

with Steve Hendrickson

In this seminar, students will study Calculus B in the fall and Calculus C in the spring.
