The Humanities curriculum, which substitutes for separate offerings in English, European History, and Christian Doctrine, provides all Fourth Form students with a solid foundation in each of these disciplines through an intensive interdisciplinary grounding in the language, literature, history, and thought of the West from St. Paul and St. Augustine to the present. Seminars provide students with the opportunity to analyze and discuss the great books of the Western Tradition, while lectures and plenary sessions provide necessary background and context. Small writing sections allow for individual work in writing and in critical thinking, and help to sharpen student skills in rhetoric and poetics. Texts read last year include Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe, Ibsen, Joyce, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Thomas More, Luther, Machiavelli, Descartes, Pascal, Rousseau, St. Thomas Aquinas, Kierkegaard and Newman.
Some Humanities students will get the opportunity to travel abroad to Rome, Italy this summer. For further information on this trip, please click here.
