Welcome to CSG’s Classics Department!

We are very fortunate - and unusual within the state sector - in being able to offer a broad suite of Classical subjects to all students at The Camden School for Girls: students can study Latin, Classical Civilisation and Ancient Greek.

Salvete! Χαιρετε! Welcome!

The Classics Curriculum The Classics Department at CSG provides all students with the skills to investigate, evaluate and appreciate the different cultures, languages and achievements of the Romans and Greeks, understanding and evaluating the impact of the ancient world on the modern day.

Unique within the maintained sector in London, our department offers Latin, Classical Greek and Classical Civilisation to all students at all key stages. In each of our subjects, we aim to develop students’ literary, historical and linguistic skills, enabling young people to explore other cultures as well as their own from a variety of different angles.

Taught with expertise and passion, encouraging creativity, personal response, articulacy and accuracy, Classics provides an opportunity for every student to discover an aspect of the ancient world which allows them to express and explore their individuality, be it through language, literature, history, art or cultural investigation.
