Friends of Classics (FoC) is the society
for anyone who is fascinated by the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
If you have some knowledge of the
classical civilisations - however residual, from however many years ago
- and, above all, if you wish to see classical subjects - Latin, Greek,
classical civilisation and ancient history - flourishing in our schools,
then Friends of Classics is for you.
FoC has two main functions:
Raising money to encourage the study of the ancient
world and its languages in schools
Arranging activities for Friends to enjoy.
This
web-site explains what Friends of Classics does, how it works
and how to join; provides updates
on classical topics current in the media; describes procedures for schools
to apply for grants; and much more.
Friends of Classics is a registered
