Middle School Greek III

Middle School Greek 3 is a transition course to prepare younger students, or those who want a slower pace, to enter CLRC’s high school level Greek 2 course the following year. The class covers the same material as the first semester of Greek 2 in the high school program —chapters 11-15 of Athenaze: An Introduction to Ancient Greek Book I.  Topics covered in the class include the first and second aorist, the imperfect, and -o contract verbs. Relative clauses, comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs, and demonstrative adjectives are also covered.

(If you would like to enroll in this class but cannot attend at the posted time, please contact us. We may be able to open an additional section.)
