This course is part of the UBC Future Global Leaders on-campus program for high school students ages 15–18. Combines morning classes and afternoon pre-university workshops.
Explore key episodes in Greek history and famous tales of the gods, popularized in modern books and movies like Percy Jackson and the Olympians, alongside the central discoveries of the Greek philosophers. Along the way, discover the methods and critical tools at the roots of the modern research university, and strategies for success in university and beyond.
This is an excellent course for students interested in the arts and humanities, including philosophy, classical studies, literature, and media studies, or for any student who wants to prepare for university in a fun and engaging course.
