At The Classical Institute, the study of Ancient Greek and Latin offers direct engagement with the languages and texts that form the foundations of the Western intellectual and literary traditions. Our teaching places rigorous study of grammar and syntax alongside sustained engagement with original texts, enabling students to develop the linguistic competence required for increasingly independent reading and interpretation.

Through small, focused classes, students develop precision, confidence and judgement while encountering the literature, philosophy and intellectual traditions of the ancient world in their original languages.

Language, Thought & Tradition in Ancient Greek and Latin

  • Ancient Greek Language and Literature

    The Ancient Greek Language and Literature Programme provides a structured approach to the study of Ancient Greek, combining the systematic development of grammar and syntax with progressive engagement with original texts.

    The programme is intended to equip students with the linguistic foundations required to read Greek with increasing confidence and independence, while developing an appreciation of the language within its wider literary and intellectual tradition.

    The next phase of our Ancient Greek provision is currently in development, with further programme and enrolment details forthcoming.
