Are you fascinated by gladiators? Have you read all of Percy Jackson? Looked at the stars? Practiced Harry Potter spells? Wondered how your bones got their names? The discoveries and influence of the Romans are present in the world all around if you're looking for them. At Doane's
Living Latin Camp, you will explore the vestiges of Roman Culture left in the modern world. Through daily field trips to locations such as the Penn Museum, the Academy of Sciences, the Franklin Institute, the Morris Arboretum, and Princeton, you will see the impact of the empire that shaped the Western World. No prior knowledge of Latin is required to enjoy this camp. It is open to students in grades 6-12.

"Heroes of Greece" Interest Meeting
|
The Classical and World Language Department at Doane Academy is committed to inspiring a genuine passion for language and culture, while helping our students realize Doane's vision as a school dedicated to strong, ethical leadership. Giving our students opportunities to experience language, culture, and international travel first-hand takes them well beyond what can be achieved in the classroom alone.
We are excited to announce a trip to Greece scheduled to occur over Spring Break of next year! This trip, entitled
Heroes of Greece
, will run from
March 23rd-31st 2018
, and
is open to
all students enrolled in 9th grade or higher in the 2017/2018 school year
. The approximate cost of the trip is $4,032, which includes airfare, breakfast and dinner, all touring and transportation costs, accommodations in quality hotels, and other expenses. The company offers a variety of payment options for families, and we are hopeful that our students will show initiative and innovation in finding ways to finance their travel with a whole summer to plan.
The parent interest meeting takes place on May 8th at 6PM, and parents should contact Miss Anna Hall (ahall@doaneacademy.org) with any questions.
A preliminary itinerary for the trip is viewable here.

Ride Onward, our annual scholarship bike
ride, will take place on
Saturday, May 20th. Please join us as we come together as a community to continue to make it possible for our diverse, superb student body to benefit from Doane Academy's outstanding education.
This year we will again gather at Doane and then pedal together in two large groups; one group
riding 25 miles and the other
riding 8 miles south & west from the campus along the Delaware River. Each rider will raise money by asking friends, family, and beyond to pledge to support them as we raise money to make a Doane Academy education possible for all of the talented boys and girls who wish to attend our school.
This year our fundraising goal is $25,000. In order to raise that amount, we ask that you build your team and introduce Doane Academy to the widest possible audience. Create your own
Ride Onward page and then forward it via email and social media to all of the special people in your life. Ask for their support. And in doing so, remind them how important Doane is in your life.
Start to gather your supporters now in advance of the big event. And on May 20
th, join all of us in the Doane Community as we
Ride Onward to support our school and its students.
To learn more about
Ride Onward,
visit the Ride Onward website, which will show you how to register and seek out supporters. Thank you for being a member of the Doane family and for your generosity as we seek to meet our ambitious goal.
Ride Onward!
