Memory Master

This year, Corban wanted to be a Memory Master through his Classical Conversations program!  This is a goal which requires all the material for the year to be fully memorized by the student and recited to parents, his tutor and then tested by his director.  
With 24 weeks of NEW information (only some of the Math was repeated from last year
and again being the youngest student at his school to test, 
Corban is a Memory Master!  
We are so proud of him and this big accomplishment!
