From the Milton Classroom
Classics Links !
School Year Abroad has recently begun its
junior year in Italy for students of Latin. Milton Academy students
met in December with a representative from SYA. For more information,

Verbal Islands is an annual spring seminar (non credit) that
meets on Sunday mornings during May. It is offered through the Classics
Department to those students who are interested in learning how
to use etymological studies as the foundation of lifelong vocabulary
building and word awareness technique. Enrollment is limited and
usually reserved for members of Class II.
Classical Heritage in English Language and
Literature: This course, offered annually by the Classics Department,
traces the words and tales of the Ancients to their modern form in
vocabulary and literary allusions. Etymologies from both Latin and
Greek will be introduced and will serve as a tool for strengthening
vocabulary and the ability to distinguish fine shades of meaning.
The course includes a study of Greek mythology and its legacy in English
literature. All assigned readings are in English.
