PHILOSOPHY

Latin, mathematics and music are three basic and universal languages. These subjects receive special emphasis at HLS enabling students to reach their full potential by developing the powers of the mind like no other subjects can. Our curriculum is organized into the following six academic subjects plus music, art and physical education. Classical Languages (Latin & Greek), Math, Science, English Studies, Classical & Christian Studies and American & Modern Studies.

Christian/Classical Studies, English Studies, and American/Modern Studies are integrated courses where students learn the history, geography, literature, and art of each culture. We believe this is an effective method of learning about the past, one which decreases fragmentation and increases understanding and retention.
