High School Programs
Freshman Seminar--Description and Topics
Every other Thursday from 6 – 9 pm
The Freshman Seminar helps students see 'the big picture' of their lives. Freshman year is not too early to start thinking about what kind of father, husband, professional, and friend one wants to be as an adult. Besides helping students to think about their future, the seminar addresses the challenges they will encounter along the way to maturity. Classes are conducted with a mixture of reading, discussion, lecture, debate, and student presentations.
