Course summary

The ancient Greeks continue to fascinate us. Their achievements in so many areas were remarkable, and their influence can still be observed today in myriad areas from literature and art, to philosophy and religion, politics, mathematics and medicine. The A Level Classical Greek course is intellectually rigorous and challenging, but it is also immensely rewarding, offering students the opportunity to further their linguistic proficiency while also delving deeper, via the study and exploration of the set texts, into the fascinating history and culture of the ancient Greeks. In learning more about the ancient Greeks, their attitudes, beliefs and customs, we come to learn more about ourselves and realise that, despite the time lapse of over two and a half millennia, humans and the human condition have not really changed that much at all.
