Our Approach

A Spiritual Orientation Towards Our Creator

Our English courses follow a classical chronological approach and encourage the students to develop a spiritual orientation towards our Creator rather than merely facilitating the absorption of raw information for exam purposes.

Our candidates achieve consistent high results and leave the College with a broad knowledge of the canon of English Literature, combined with the analytical skills needed to examine it.

    At primary level, students learn about the beginning of Literature itself, studying the main works of the Ancient Classical World, which include the Holy Bible, Greek Myths, the Iliad, the Odyssey and the Aeneid.

    In the last year of their primary education, they begin a chronological and analytical study of English Literature, beginning with Caedmon’s Hymn.

    Secondary Level

    At secondary level, students continue their classical and chronological study of English Literature with the help of an innovative English Literature History and Anthology textbook series.

    They study literature in its historical and philosophical context, through interactive, visual, and highly analytical learning. They learn about key writers and their works by analysing extracts, skilfully balancing between learning historical context and doing close literary analysis.
