Our Mission
In today's world, fewer people are learning about the classics, yet the field holds immense value for all, even those who may choose to not pursue it academically. CLASSICS4KIDS aims to cultivate and inspire curiosity for the Ancient Mediterranean in youth starting at an early age. We seek to provide opportunities for students to explore Latin and other ancient cultures, filling a gap for schools that have cut or never offered Latin programs. Through hands-on activities, storytelling, and interactive sessions, we bring the culture and history of the ancient Mediterranean to life, sparking curiosity and a love for learning in the next generation.
