2025-2026 Plutarch for Kids: Classical History Through Biography (Pre-Recorded Class)

$615.00

Please Note: This course has rotating content so that students may take the class more than once.

Learn History through Biography: The Greek biographer Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is one of the cornerstones of Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy. Join Classicist Thomas Banks in his online class dedicated to exploring this classic book, with Solon (1st Semester) and Mark Antony (2nd Semester).

Charlotte Mason-style lessons: We will read these together while learning about the great and terrible events of their lives and the events of their respective eras. The readings will be guided and living and short.

Weekly Written Narrations: Students will write a narration and upload to the class forum each week. Students may also narrate orally to parents who can transcribe and upload for the student. Narrations will not be corrected or graded. There is no writing instruction; only accountability and practice with narration.

The American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson called Plutarch’s biographies “a Bible for heroes”. Let us explore it together.

The pre-recorded option is a closed class that includes the full recording and material archive of the past year’s class with no wait time. With a pre-recorded class, there are no writing assignments and no grades issued for the high school courses.

Book List:

Plutarch’s Lives (Dryden translation (Available online))

Purchasing physical copies of Plutarch’s Lives is not necessary for this class. Mr. Banks will be posting the readings (which are available free online) in Canvas on a weekly basis, and will also be reading the relevant passage from Plutarch for the students during class.
