A note from our Alumni - Ava Roush

When doors started opening for me at Calvin University’s English department, I knew I could attribute many of these opportunities to the quality of education I received at Seven Oaks Classical School. Seven Oaks taught me to think critically, always ask questions, and to see a beauty in the process of learning. The Literature Curriculum, abundant with classics and excellent discussion, not only inspired my love for English, but also prepared me for advanced placement and scholarship opportunities. Now, as I enter into my freshman year at Calvin University, I am looking forward to a research scholarship, where I will be working alongside an English professor, a donated scholarship from a Calvin alumni for English students, and many more opportunities made possible by my education at Seven Oaks.
