For those with no experience of Greek at all, beyond recognising the alphabet
For those not yet at GCSE standard who are unable to tackle unadapted Greek
For those of GCSE standard or beyond, who are already reading Ancient Greek texts
Students work in groups of 7-10 and have over 32 hours of Greek tuition during the fortnight.
There are three teaching sessions each day: 9.00-10, 11.30-12.45 and 4.30-5.30. Students must attend all these and to do a considerable amount of work on their own between sessions. There is also a grammar clinic after the third session each day, so students can get help with individual problems.
On most evenings, after dinner, there will be a lecture concerned with some aspect of Greek literature or culture, and on many afternoons there are seminars on a choice of Classical topics.
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are free, as is the middle Sunday. A walk to Hod Hill fort and other optional activities will be arranged.
Students are expected to attend the full course, arriving between 4.00 and 6.30 on the first day (Sunday) and leaving after the final session on the last day (Saturday) between 10.30 and 11am.
