Seven Oaks Classical School in Ellettsville, IN is hosting its second annual Travel Trot 5K to raise money for two student trips: our 8th grade trip to Washington D.C., and our high school junior/senior trip to Europe. We are excited to host this race with a course starting and ending on the campus of Seven Oaks Classical School, offering a chance to enjoy our beautiful local Ellettsville neighborhood home. This is a family-friendly event, with parents welcome to bring strollers and walk the course with their children. Runners/walkers and community members are invited to stay for a chili and bake sale at the race finish line, along with warm drinks and a chance to visit and play on our newly opened playground. 

Registration is $30 in advance for adults and children 9 and over. Children under 9 do not need to register and may walk/run with their parents; they will not be eligible for the free shirt, but extra shirts may be available for purchase after the race. Walk-up registration will be available the morning of the race for $40. The first 50 race registrants will receive a free t-shirt, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals for overall male and female runners will be awarded. 

Registration will open at 9am in the parking lot of Seven Oaks (200 E Association Street). The walk will start at 9:30 and the run at 10:00.

Are you interested in a classical education for your child?

Would you like to see classical teaching “in action?”

Come visit our classrooms for Shadow Day for Grades 1-11! Your children can experience what it’s like to attend school at Seven Oaks.

This semester, we have scheduled three mornings for prospective students to step inside classrooms, “shadow” a student ambassador, sit at their own desks, and follow along with teachers’ lessons!

Reserve a space for each student in grades 1-11 below

Wednesday, November 5 - 8:00-10:45 a.m.

What happens on Shadow Day?

First, Dr. Stephen Shipp, Headmaster, will welcome families and students all together.

Next, each visiting student will be partnered with Seven Oaks Student Ambassadors who will accompany them all morning. Shadowing students will be matched with Ambassadors in their own current grades (1st through 11th grade).

Teachers will welcome the student visitors in each classroom. They will invite the shadowing students to participate in the day’s lessons, according to their own comfort level.

Then, Dr. Shipp will give parents an in-depth introduction to the classical curriculum and answer your questions about life at Seven Oaks. Finally, you will get to tour the school and see the classrooms where your children are shadowing.

Visiting students are free to wear their regular school clothes. Children who are shadowing in grades 1-8 should bring athletic shoes for physical education or outdoor recess. Children visiting in first grade should also bring a mid-morning snack!

For more information, please contact angie.butcher@sevenoaksclassical.org or (812) 935-5003. (Attendance at a Shadow Day is not required in order to enroll at Seven Oaks.)
