Antiquity for Grammar Students

For the 2026-27 academic year, our studies will focus on Antiquity.

Books for Use in Class

Parents are not required to purchase these books for their students. These will be used in class. Teachers will give suggested homework for use at home. Only if you wish to complete that homework at home, will you need to purchase these books.

Cottage Press
Providence Prep will order Cottage Press books together for a group discount.
Each family will need at least one copy of Poetry Reader VI from Cottage Press.
If you would like your student to create a history timeline, purchase the Book of Centuries.
