Course Description
Living Greek Online High School is an intensive online ancient Greek program designed to introduce high school students to ancient Greek. This course covers the basics of Greek grammar in order to prepare students to read and discuss authentic Greek texts. The program teaches ancient Greek both via the traditional grammar translation method and via active language pedagogy, which gives students the opportunity to speak ancient Greek as a living language.
This program is an online alternative to our in-person travel program: Living Greek in Greece (High School). Please visit this webpage if you are interested in traveling abroad in the summer of 2025.
