• Since 2012 Calder Classics has offered Travel Programs for motivated high school and college students seeking interdisciplinary Greek, Latin, and Creative Writing experiences in Italy, Greece, and France during Spring Break and Summer. Since 2019, we have offered a year-round Online curriculum. Through their interaction with literature and history, art and architecture, our students deepen their understanding of ancient and modern culture and develop a lifelong appreciation of the Classics. Our approach to teaching includes an investigation into how and why the Classics have endured and woven themselves so deeply into our modern lives. We explore the original stories from multiple angles, along with later adaptations and interpretations, some direct and others divergent. During the last 12 years students have joined us from 216 public and private high schools in North America, South America and Asia and have gone on to attend 83 top colleges and universities.
• Calder Classics is proud of our work with Prep-for-Prep and the Squash and Education Alliance (SEA) to provide their program members with opportunities to travel abroad and learn about the Classics in their birthplace as we continue to expand our mission to spread knowledge of the Greek and Roman classics to new and diverse audiences. We raise money in support of scholarships for Prep-for-Prep and SEA students to attend Calder Classics programs. Please see our DONATE page for instructions on how to make a tax-deductible donation!
• Some of our teachers are available for our Classics Tutoring service in which Calder Classics Scholars provide one-on-one or small group tutoring sessions to middle school, high school, college, and adult students. Finally, our Rome, Florence, and Thessaloniki/Athens-based Scholars are available for bespoke Classics-oriented tours.
• Led by Cindy Calder, our Scholars are all well established in their fields with exceptional creative, intellectual and academic backgrounds. Cindy developed this educational boutique in 2012 with the belief that studying the Classics, when complemented with a first-hand experience of art, history and culture, enriches younger students’ academic experience and encourages adults to re-engage in the joys of learning. She earned her B.A. from Dartmouth and her M.A. in Classics from Columbia University and taught at Trinity School and Brearley in New York City. She lives with her husband in Massachusetts and is the mother of four boys.
