Ancient Voices proudly remains one of the most affordable ways to dip a toe with something new, or to consolidate on prior learning in ancient languages. We will continue to offer these classes for as long as there is interest, and so we encourage people to sign up!

More info is available on the website, but it is worth noting our sliding price plan for these units. Our classes are designed to avoid timetable clashes and allow folks to take multiple streams. Classes are therefore priced:

1 x Stream: £70
2 x Streams: £130
3 x Streams: £180

Our cultural/blended units will focus one on the cultures of central Anatolia, and another on 'Dionysiac Revelry' in antiquity and beyond.

This is our most diverse programme yet, and so we hope plenty of you will join us online to have fun and learn something new!

This year marks another development in the programme. We constantly try to bring tuition in languages that are not widely taught. We are also expanding the study of ancient cultures, and we're (again) running a course for school leavers, dedicated to demystifying university life.

Since its inception, we have tried hard to make the AV programme truly accessible to communities around the globe who might otherwise lack access to Classics. We have also tried to retain as low a price point as possible, since we believe that money should prevent access.

The scheme is supported by CAS, with further scope for assistance from @classicsforall.bsky.social. It is designed to function with no overhead considerations for the pupil or their home school.

We hope that you will share this among your friends and colleagues who might have interested pupils!

The scheme is designed to allow access to courses that would be impossible in the pupils' home school, with colleagues at Edinburgh Uni providing access to a shared Teams platform.

Classes and materials from TGA will be uploaded, with live weekly sessions on top.
