Senior Thesis Week at Trinity Classical Academy begins Monday, April 18 and will go till Thursday, April 22.
The culminating and integrative project of a graduating Trinity Classical Academy senior is the development and presentation of their Senior Thesis. This project requires students to use their rhetorical skills to develop a thought-provoking and persuasive argument on a subject of depth and significance for which Christians can reasonably disagree.
Integral to the student’s process is the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty or administration member who guides the development of their 20 – 40 page thesis and oral presentation. One of the most valuable outcomes of the senior thesis is the chance for students to enhance their skills of creativity, intellectual engagement, mental discipline and the ability to meet new challenges.
The Trinity Senior Class will present their Senior Thesis in a 15 – 20 minute oration to a panel of Trinity teachers and administrators, as well as their families, peers and invited guests the week of April 18. The panel will judge each thesis presentation, as well as question their argument and ideas which the student must answer as part as their oral defense.
The following schedule details each Thesis Presentation topic with dates and times. All are welcome to attend these presentations, which have been scheduled in two-hour blocks either in the morning, afternoon or evenings on the Trinity Classical Academy campus.
