Classical Languages
A hallmark of the curriculum since 1841, the Classics program builds language proficiency, analytical skills, and an understanding of the foundations of Western civilization.
Fordham Prep requires all students to begin a classical language in freshman year—typically Latin, with select students studying Ancient Greek—and offers the opportunity to pursue up to four years in one or both.
