Comparative Civilizations 12
Description:
Comparative Civilizations 12 is a second semester course that combines online and virtual classroom study with an exciting Spring Break educational trip to Greece and Italy. Using a distinctively Christian analytical schema, students will work with four grad teachers, each an expert in his or her own area, and will examine the history, literature, art, and philosophy of the ancient civilizations which have defined the ‘western story’. Students will study and compare political, social, and economic structures and, as believers, will pay particular attention to the underlying cultural mythos which orients their thinking, establishes their habits of thought and animates their everyday way of life and being.
