Overview
The language of Ancient Greece, Plato, and Socrates, will come alive for you at Ancient Greek Immersion Camp.
Ancient Greek Immersion camp will plunge you into the world and language of ancient Greece. In only a week, you will learn how to say hello, introduce yourself, and ask for directions – all in Greek!
Whether it’s truly “all Greek to you,” or you already speak modern Greek, Ancient Greek Immersion camp is the greatest way to become acquainted with this momentous historical language.
Why Ancient Greek Immersion Camp?
But wait–– isn’t ancient Greek a dead language? Why would anybody want to learn to speak a dead language?” In partnership with the world-renowned Polis Institute based in Jerusalem, we at Northridge Prep are pioneering a new approach to language study that is easy, fun, and effective.
Rather than banging your head against a grammar textbook, the ‘Polis method’ gets students up out of their chairs and using the target language in complete and total immersion. Come learn Greek like a hoplite at Greek camp!
