Path to Knighthood

To become a knight, a student must pass through the training phases of knighthood and demonstrate competence in each phase.  To complete a training phase, a student must finish two items from each category and two additional items of choice from the menu of categories.  A candidate may become a page at the end of 7th grade, a squire at the end of 8th grade and a knight at the end of 9th grade.  Students that are currently in the 8th and 9th grade will begin the process as if they had completed the earlier phases.
