Liberal Arts Level 6: Ancient Classics Literature (Greek Year)

The Scholé Academy's Upper School Ancient Classics course is a comprehensive exploration of foundational texts from ancient civilizations, including the Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. Students delve into a diverse range of genres, from epic poetry to philosophy, gaining historical and literary understanding and cultivating independent scholarship skills. The course is structured around primary sources, encouraging students to engage with texts as both a historical window and a personal mirror, leading to self-reflection through the Socratic method. Taught over two modular years ('Greek Year' and 'Roman Year'), the course offers a supportive learning environment, with a focus on close reading and practical application. Students can expect to spend 2-3 hours per week on homework, depending on the number of courses taken.
