本文專注美國基督教教育的第九、十年級的人文學科課程列表。
在这里向大家推薦基督教古典式學校（Christian Classical School）的教學課程。學校的教學規劃（curriculum）與使用教材有一定的參考價值。希望對美國教育、在家教育、課外讀物感興趣的家長有所幫助！
我對唯理達基督教古典式學校（Veritas Classical School）的介紹和教學反思可閱讀之前的發文：https://vocus.cc/article/626c4322fd897800018a9edd 。
學年主題
第九、十年級（Grade 9 & 10）的教學以古希臘羅馬、歐洲歷史為主。需要注意的是，我們學校合併兩個年級教學，九年級和十年級的學生一起上課。為避免教學內容的重複，課程分A、B兩年教學。與第五、六年級的主題分配類似，Year A主題是古希臘羅馬，Year B主題是歐洲中世紀、文藝復興與宗教改革。
文學與詩歌 Literature & Poetry
九、十年級閱讀難度已經非常大了。學生要閱讀古希臘羅馬詩人、劇作家的原版著作，以及歐洲經典的史詩與話劇。每學年要讀六至七本書。這兩個年級不僅要求學生有完全自主閱讀的能力，還需要文本鑑賞、思想延伸的能力。以下書籍大部分是Dover Thrift Editions。
