What Is the Order of the Page? A Parent’s Guide

A Clear Path for Your Child’s Growth

If you’ve been searching for an activity that builds discipline, confidence, and character in your child, you may have come across our Order of the Page program.

But what exactly is it?

At Knight Errant in Henderson, Nevada, the Order of the Page is our foundational youth program—designed to introduce children to the principles of medieval martial arts while guiding them through a structured path of personal development.

This is more than just a class. It is a journey with purpose.


What Does “Page” Mean?

Historically, a page was a young student training in the household of a knight.

They were not expected to be warriors yet. Instead, they were taught:

  • Discipline

  • Service

  • Respect

  • Basic martial skills

The goal was simple: to build the foundation of character before skill.

Our program follows that same philosophy.


What Your Child Will Learn

The Order of the Page is designed to develop the whole child—mind and body.

⚔️ Physical Skills

  • Foundational movement and coordination

  • Safe handling of training weapons

  • Basic swordsmanship techniques

  • Balance, posture, and control

🧠 Mental Discipline

  • Focus and listening skills

  • Following structured instruction

  • Patience and perseverance

🛡️ Character Development

  • Respect for instructors and peers

  • Responsibility for their actions

  • Pride in earned achievement

Each class is structured to reinforce these qualities in a way that is both engaging and challenging.


The Quest-Based Advancement System

One of the most unique aspects of the Order of the Page is how students progress.

Instead of traditional belts or ranks, students advance through quests.

Each child receives a clear set of objectives they must complete, such as:

  • Demonstrating specific techniques

  • Showing consistent effort and behavior

  • Participating fully in class activities

This system teaches an important lesson:

Achievement is earned through action.

It also gives children a sense of direction. They always know what they are working toward—and why it matters.


A Learning Environment Built for Children

We understand that children learn differently than adults.

That’s why the Order of the Page incorporates:

  • Structured games inspired by medieval history

  • Interactive drills that keep students engaged

  • Clear expectations and consistent routines

This balance of discipline and enjoyment helps children stay motivated while still developing meaningful skills.
