Featured Course:
Reading Latin + Art History, Spring Break in Antibes, March 21-27, 2027
Calder Classics invites enthusiastic students of Latin to join us in Antibes, France, on the French Riviera, for a unique interdisciplinary experience. In this intensive, one-week course we explore the intersections of Latin poetry, Greco-Roman history, and modern visual arts. Situated in a coastal town that transitioned from an ancient Greek trading post to a strategic Roman emporium and ultimately to a sought-after residence for modern artists, our location offers us a "Classical Canvas" for our literary and artistic studies. Designed for highly inquisitive students of the Classics, our curriculum links Latin literature and local archaeological findings directly to modern painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Students will find an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and interdisciplinary exchange where language studies, art, and ancient scholarship merge fluidly.Read More.
