Last year I visited Oakcrest school in Vienna, Virginia to chat with members of a high school class that had upset a major election. Music teacher Alix Baldwin led her class in a musical
putsch that dethroned Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 as the perennial winner of WETA Classical’s annual
Classical Countdown, awarding first place to Vivaldi’s
Four Seasons. The young women in Ms. Baldwin’s class learned a lot in that exercise about civic engagement, and how, with dedication and hard work, you can make a difference in your community.

What does it mean to see “Life as a Heroic Journey”? In the 9th grade, our students seek to discover just that. Through the lens of the virtues of self-knowledge, sporting spirit, and fortitude, they discover what a heroic journey truly is through their study of the Greeks in history and through the reading of The Illiad and The Odyssey in English class. Alongside these themes, the class competes in their own Greek Olympics throughout the first semester.
