Access Exeter Summer Program — Classics: Exploring the Ancient World

Best for: Middle and Upper School students who want an immersive, hands-on introduction to the ancient world through a mix of art, mythology, and beginner language study. Day to day: The cluster blends Art & Archaeology (projects like building a Greek temple model, clay figures, toga draping, and artifact-focused skills), Mythology & Literature (primary sources tied to major myths and authors like Homer, Vergil, and Greek tragedians), and Classical Languages (both Greek and Latin), ending with a creative final project and Roman-style games like mock gladiatorial matches and chariot races. Common pitfalls: This is broad and experiential rather than an advanced, translation-heavy Latin/Greek program, and students should be ready for project-based work and group activities; also note that a laptop/Chromebook/tablet/iPad is required for homework.
