Classics

Students learn to analyze ancient prose and poetry through a variety of literary and linguistic techniques, improving their ability to read, write, and think critically.

Latin students examine the language, culture, and ideas of some of the earliest architects of Western civilization and consider their influence on modern language, culture, literature, and philosophy. Maret's Latin courses elicit an appreciation of the subtlety and power of language. Ancient Greek is offered through Maret's Malone Schools Online Network (MSON) program. You can read more about Maret's Latin classes in our curriculum guide.
