Selected Works of C.S. Lewis (British Literature) Spring 2027 only


Grace MacPherson is a homeschool graduate and a member of the historical first class at Luther Classical College. She holds an A.A. in Liberal Arts from Casper Community College, and is pursuing the Teacher Certification Track B.A. at Luther Classical College. She has previously taught Introductory Latin at Mt. Hope Lutheran School in Casper, Wyoming, and has studied Latin for over ten years, both through homeschool and at the college level.

In this class, we will read the major fiction of Lewis, as well as selected poetry, and will discuss how Lewis’s Christian worldview and study of medieval literature informed his writing.

Intended for high school students, but may be suitable for an advanced middle schooler, or for adults seeking to expand their understanding of literature.

What Does a Live Session Look Like?
Live sessions for this preceptorial will meet once a week for approximately forty-five minutes. Students will come to the session having already completed any assigned homework from the previous class. Class will begin with a review of last week’s content and homework. The instructor will then introduce any new concepts, allowing time for student questions. The instructor will then lead the students in working together on translation.
