Benefits of Studying Latin

     The study of Latin has been an important part of education for 2000 years. The best schools offer it, and the best students take it.

     The Dean of Admission of Gonzaga Univeristy has this to say about Latin:“We add on extra ‘weight’ when we see Latin on a transcript.”

     The University of Dallas adds that “classical languages [Latin and Greek] on a transcript indicate seriousness of purpose and true devotion to a rigorous program of study.”

    To read more testimonies from college admissions offices, follow this link.

    In this country, the study of classical languages is a presidential tradition. The New York Times has an article on Latin and the presidency here.

William Shakespeare

As Mr. Bailey's Reading classes are reading Shakespeare this year, it seems appropriate to provide links to information about Shakespeare's life, art, and Christian beliefs.

Rev. Smith has written an excellent piece titled "Why Shakespeare for Christian Students?" here.

         Shakespeare was baptized and buried in the same church, Holy Trinity Church. It just so happens that the church is experiencing
difficulties right now and will have to close if it does not get some much
needed maintenance.

     To read about the church or Shakespeare or to adopt a gargoyle
on his church click here.

       There is a very good Christian Reading of Macbeth here.

        Don't let your son or daughter get in on all of the Shakespeare fun without you. Every year, Tulane puts on a few Shakespeare productions. Information can be found here.
