Classics

Studying Classical Studies provides a solid foundation for all career paths. The Classics course has an emphasis on analytical skills, critical thinking, research skills and considering limitations of sources. Students will develop their ability to analyse classical literature, art and social and political life in the ancient world. Study of the classical world sometimes presents a worldview different from that of the students; there is much we can learn from other perspectives, cultures and traditions and much to be gained from reaffirming our own values and opinions as we critique. Students will learn how the ancient world has influenced the world in which we live.

Students will study Alexander the Great, Aristophanes and Roman Art.
