"Men can do nothing without the make-believe of a beginning. Even Science, the strict measurer, is obliged to start with a make-believe unit, and must fix on a point in the stars' unceasing journey when his sidereal clock shall pretend that time is Nought."
"... and I would dearly like to say, as a mathematician, that numbers are as informative and human a symbolism as words; but they are not." Although science may cure diseases, mathematics reach the moon, philosophy explain justice and history reveal future possibilities, it is literature that allows the student to explore the personal world within himself without limits and to share his insights with others. Princeton Science Academy, rather than focusing on a single author or novel for the entire year, presents an array of writers throughout history, which exposes the student to its vast canon of works. The student, upon finishing the required four years of literature, will have access to a mental card catalogue, from which he may draw in his personal experience of reading. ©2005-2008, Princeton Latin Academy, Inc. |
