Classical Language Arts

 

 

Course Description:

 

What are the Classical Language Arts? In the Language Arts we cultivate our ability to discover and share ideas through language. The word “Classical” has different meanings in different contexts, but here “Classical” means we are using methods and resources that have proven to be effective, reliable, and enduring. In Classical Language Arts we use books, poems, speeches, and songs from all ages and places to broaden our students’ minds with worthy and interesting ideas.
