The purpose of this live ONLINE course is to spark pre-teen/early teenage students' interest in reading classic books and to teach them to engage in Socratic discussion about themes, characters, plot, etc. Parts of the books will be read aloud; others will be left for the students to read on their own. We will also focus on history related to the stories. Our summer 2025 readings are selections from Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey.
Although all editions are adapted to younger readers, some books contain references to violence, death, and so on. Please preview the books to make sure the themes are appropriate for your child. As different books will be read in future terms, students may repeat the course many times. Recommended for students ages 10-13. This course is graded based on attendance, preparation, and participation. The cost is $150 for 22.5 hours of instruction June 16-Aug. 13, 2025.
Please inquire about our other courses: Cursive handwriting + Drawing (offered in Summer 2025 for $150) and The Alphabet of the Ancient Greeks (offered in summer 2025, dates TBA).
