The Peaks focuses on the theme of challenge, inviting grade 9 to12 students to see their high school years as a period to get acquainted with challenges that bring about personal growth. 

 

As students progress through high school, the program delves more deeply into the theme of challenges. It gives practical advice on how to develop personal attributes and qualities that help one become an effective and virtuous person.

 

The Peaks includes monthly guest speakers from various fields and virtue talks, regular mentoring, participation in sports and physical activity, and opportunities for works of solidarity, such as visiting the elderly and the poor.

 

Talk and speaker topics include: the virtues, how to have good conversations, developing and working towards noble dreams and aspirations, appreciating the arts, good use of technology, making and keeping good friendships, solidarity with others especially those in need, being a gentleman in manners and dealing with women, and many more.

 

Excursions include hiking, skiing and snowboarding, snowshoeing, skating, paintball, and biking. Excursion costs extra.

 

Regular mentoring sessions take place before and after scheduled activities on Saturdays and on other days students visit Bowmont. Mentors help students work through the virtues they learn from the talks and bring up other important topics, including goal-setting, studying effectively, and love for ones family and friends among others.

 

Parents are the ones primarily responsible for their son's formation, and Bowmont assists parents in this task. Meetings with parents are foreseen as well as family events that take place at various points throughout the year.
