Classics

This year, 12th grade made a study of classics and classics – there’s a difference! A spiritual or biblical perspective of value in literature is not the same as the world’s. The seniors took a brief tour through English (that is, British) literature with works such as Beowulf, portions of The Canterbury Tales, Shakespearean comedy and tragedy, and The Pilgrim’s Progress. Along the way they learned why the English language has so many rules and exceptions to them: it’s the adopted child of at least four different languages! They studied and tried their hand at the aesthetics of poetry. They also found examples of leaders both good and bad, pointing what they should emulate – and what they should not.
