Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

What text books does CTT use?

We use a few textbooks, not many. They are Barbara Merck's Geology - A Self Teaching Guide for Upper School Geology and Oceanography; and The Classical Roman Reader, an anthology of many Roman writings. The courses in history are full of excerpts from great writings which are carefully broken down in terms of words so that the student has a good chance at understanding them. The student uses Will and Ariel Durant's The Lesson of History, a slim book that sums up what they learned from a lifetime as historians, in the final history course in their last semester of study. Lower School history is built around Van Loon's Newberry winning The Story of Mankind, which is in the public domain and so is integrated as text into the courses (you don't need to get the book). That's pretty much it.
