When the program is implemented in the classroom, the class is run on an almost tutorial basis. My interaction with the children is never more than one to four and is usually one to one. Children of this age haven't yet been acculturated to the school culture and the way you learn for a test. They all come on an equal footing because none of them have had previous archaeological experiences. Archaeology is about discovery, finding things that nobody has found before.
Mystery is involved as well as a fascination with the past.
Foreign Language Teacher, Carol Farber Dalton's rigorous academic program blends traditional classical education with innovative approaches. Its Classical Languages program is a strong one. When students begin Greek or Latin in sixth grade, there is no end to the program. We take them as far as they wish to go, even beyond the Advanced Placement courses into independent tutorials. In the Dalton tradition, the Classics have always enjoyed strong support within the curriculum.
