Cambridge Online Ancient Greek Academy
The Cambridge Online Ancient Greek Academy is an initiative developed by
Classics for All and with support from Cambridge School Classics Project
(CSCP) and the University of Cambridge Faculty of Classics.
We offer the opportunity for students aged from Y8-Y12 the opportunity to learn Ancient Greek. Students will be able to work towards the ICCG in two years and a GCSE in one further year. This year we are also offering an AS Level for the first time.
All teaching and resources are FREE for
state school pupils across the region.

Weekly lessons are all ONLINE on a Tuesday evening 4.30-6pm during term time. Every half term there are optional face to face meetings including language teaching and lectures to introduce students to the Classical World, which are held at the Faculty of Classics in Cambridge on a Saturday morning. All teachers are experienced and qualified DBS checked Classics teachers. No prior knowledge of Greek is required, simply the enthusiasm to give it a go. There is no obligation to continue after the first introductory term, although of course we hope you will wish to!
Students from the Academy attended the Moot Trial of Medea at the Supreme Court in London in October 2024.

ICCG and GCSE success in 2024!
Six students from the intermediate group passed the ICCG (Intermediate Certificate in Classical Greek) in the summer of 2024, while eight students took the GCSE with excellent results! Many congratulations to all of them, we are so proud of you all!
