The Academy Vivarium Novum (or ''Accademia'' in Italian) in Rome is the only college in the world where male students can spend one or more years immersed in Latin and Ancient Greek. These languages are spoken both in and outside of the classroom.〔http://www.vivariumnovum.net/eng/index.htm〕 The academy is directed by Luigi Miraglia, who according to the ''New Yorker'' magazine "speaks Latin more fluently than almost anyone else alive". The Academy Vivarium Novum was founded in order to restore the great tradition of the Renaissance schools, their teaching methods, and the free and critical vision of the world that such an education fosters. The Academy is founded on the firm conviction that dignity (''dignitas hominis'') may be attained only by continuous self-examination. The male students of the Academy Vivarium Novum are dedicated to the pursuit of a comprehensive grasp of the Latin and Ancient Greek languages.〔http://www.vivariumnovum.net/eng/academy/theacademy.htm〕 The name Vivarium Novum recalls the proto-humanistic community of Cassiodorus, Theodoric's magister officiorum. Vivarium was a place where liberal arts and lofty aspiration coincided; at the same time it evokes the isle of Vivara located in the Bay of Naples, where the idea of a school prepared to offer an advanced education to future generations was first conceived.〔 ==Academic year== The main programme offered by the Academy, which is held from the beginning of October up to the end of June, mainly aims to provide male students with a strong experience in the domain of the Humanities. The subjects of the courses are principally Ancient Greek philosophy, Ancient Latin literature, Renaissance literature, ancient Greek language and literature and Roman History. The course of History of poetry and ancient prosody deserves a special mention, as it combines ancient verses with music, in order to explain in a more efficient way their metrical structure.〔(it) https://vivariumnovum.net/it/lezioni/metrica-et-prosodia〕 The choir of the Academy, ''Tyrtarion'' (from the names of ''Tyrtaeus'' and ''Arion''), has already become well known in the domain of Latin and Greek poetry.〔https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1273E23FBFFABCA8 - http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbc-news/56560335/#56560335〕 Despite its unusual lingua franca, the programme's aim is not the mastery of the Latin and ancient Greek languages for their own sake. Rather these languages are thought of as instrumental in understanding the most significant aspects of the western world's literary, philosophical, and historical legacy, and how it has been shaped by them.〔https://vivariumnovum.net/en/lessons〕 Pupils from sixteen to twenty-five years of age are admitted to the Academy; every year, an application process is organised in order to receive scholarships and be admitted to the Academy for one year. Room, board, classes and didactic materials are all provided free to recipients.〔As for the year 2014-2015: http://apaclassics.org/apa-blog/announcement-of-competition-academy-vivarium-novum〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Accademia Vivarium Novum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
