Classical Studies is the natural companion to Latin. Students study Greek mythology and Greek and Roman history and literature every year, gradually deepening their knowledge and understanding. This long grounding prepares students to read the classics of Greek, Roman, and English literature, and to study and understand the modern world.

Through the study of Greek myths, students will be introduced to the kinds of characters they will surely meet in life through the entertaining and exaggerated stories of the Greek fictional characters.

Your child will then be immersed inside 30 stories covering all ancient Rome’s history, from its founding to its demise. Your child will witness the rise and fall of a great civilization through the lives of real larger-than-life figures.

After studying the famous individuals of Rome, they will then learn the story of the Middle Ages as told through the lives of Attila the Hun, Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Edward the Black Prince, and Joan of Arc, among others. Our study of the Middle Ages guides students through the turbulent “dark age” of history and illustrates the transition from the end of ancient times to the birth of the modern era.

This tour of history equips children with a great depth of knowledge that is often implicitly referred to in modern society but not explicitly taught.
