Classical Studies Institute of Louisville

The Academy campus is small – by design. Our goals of mentorship and teaching each student as an individual for optimal achievement are perhaps impossible to sustain on an institutional scale. But, the Academy as a learning space has no such boundaries.   During the inaugural year, Academy students and their teachers:

          ~ attended StageOne's production of The Secret Garden;

          ~ participated in a day-long conference on The Humane Vision of Wendell Berry at the Seelbach Hotel;

          ~ traveled to the Indianapolis Museum of Art to see Roman Art from the Louvre;

          ~ saw the touring Great Russian Nutcracker with an LCA classmate in the chorus;

          ~ saw Clara's Dream by the U of L School of Ballet with classmates in the cast;

          ~ spent a morning with the KY Shakespeare Festival learning how to stage The Tempest;

          ~ enjoyed an evening at the Science Center seeing the new IMAX film, Mummies, and hearing a
             lecture by its featured Egyptologist, Dr. Bob Brier;

          ~ attended the Anchorage Childrens Theatre's production of The Pirates of Penzance to see a
             classmate in a leading role;

          ~ traveled to Lexington for the weekend-long convention of the Kentucky Junior Classical League; and

          ~ viewed Medieval and Renaissance Treasures at the Speed Museum.

As a small school, we can coordinate events with ease and at low cost, an advantage we exploit to the fullest!
