What the college says

LRGS is unusual (particularly in the North West) in offering both Latin and Ancient Greek to A-level. Teaching groups are of a size to make a discursive approach ideal and everyone is expected to contribute to lessons. If you can think, reason, analyse, compare, argue, justify, defend, criticise, ask, answer, listen and remember you will enjoy Latin/Greek lessons and learn a huge amount from them. So, if you have: � a fascination with language and the logical processes linguistic study encourages � an interest in ideas and literature � a belief that the study of ancient civilisations can widen your intellectual horizons � an ability to talk about and write about ideas, concepts, controversies and issues � a willingness to work hard, enthusiastically and methodically Then Classics (Latin and/or Greek) could be for you. The Classics department regularly runs trips, both in the UK and abroad. There are annual trips to the Newcastle Classics Conference and the British Museum and to watch a Greek play in translation. Every other year, the students travel to Rome and the Bay of Naples, Sicily or mainland Greece to visit the archaeological sites which are so central to the study of Latin and Ancient Greek.
