Our Curriculum Spotlight series has shown how subjects connect to the Roaring Twenties. From Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’, to the music of jazz, and the economic shifts of the era – decathletes are building knowledge that spans the arts, sciences, and humanities. We look forward to seeing their hard work shine in competition.

Coaches dedicate countless hours to guiding students through challenging material. Their mentorship helps students grow not only as learners but also as leaders.
