Classical languages

In our gymnasium bridge classes, students are introduced to the classical languages and the ideas and culture of the Romans and Greeks. Knowledge of our classical culture provides a keen insight into the here and now and gives students a very broad and solid foundation in their overall development. Translating from Latin and Greek develops their analytical and creative abilities; this strengthens the understanding and learning of other languages and also helps in solving difficult problems in other (including science) subjects. Gymnasium takes you into the mythology, art, architecture, drama, history and philosophy of the Greeks and Romans, teaching students to see the world around them in perspective. In our eyes, the classical languages are alive and well!
