Personal Skills

In addition to the three daily academic classes, students participate in a Personal Skill of their choice. Offerings vary from bloc to bloc according to the season, and are designed to provide each student with the opportunity to develop physical and artistic talents. Physical activity plays an important role at CTA. It is believed that students and faculty perform at a higher level of achievement when they are active in body as well as mind and spirit. The school’s location near the mountains affords virtually endless possibilities for outdoor recreation and sports. Personal Skill offerings may include soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, dance or Yoga; others may be woodworking, photography, yearbook, drama, pottery, drawing, painting, guitar, music or cooking.
