Memory Experts Advance to National Finals

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. - March 31, 2016 - PRLog -- Classical Conversations, Inc, supports families in homeschooling communities across the country.  This spring, over 150 students from local Classical Conversations communities around the nation submitted video entries displaying their memory skills.   These students, ages 10 to 12, confirmed their memory skills for their local homeschool group leadership and were then encouraged to compete in the National Memory Master Competition.

The sixteen finalists will compete for the title of National Memory Master aboard the Classical Conversations Capstone Cruise, held May 1-5, 2016, on board Carnival Victory to the Bahamas.  At the final competition the students will be tested and challenged across more than 1,000 memory facts, including history sentences, math facts, a comprehensive timeline, science statements, world geography, cartography, English grammar, and Latin vocabulary and grammar.  The winner will receive a cash prize of $10,000.

Representing all regions of the United States, the finalists continue to prepare and eagerly anticipate the final round of competition aboard the cruise.  The list of finalists is available at www.classicalconversations.com/National-Memory-Master.  In addition to the National Memory Master Competition, Classical Conversations is also hosting the National Number Knockout Competition, a commencement ceremony for high school graduates, and an astronomy course aboard the ship.  The Classical Conversations hosts for these events include Leigh Bortins, founder, and Robert Bortins Jr, CEO.  Robert Bortins shares, "We are excited to celebrate the talent these students are capable of and are excited to see God glorified through their abilities."
