classical learning
Greco-Roman intellectual tradition
Classical learning refers to education rooted in the traditions of ancient Greece and Rome—the study of Latin, Greek, rhetoric, logic, and the great texts of Western antiquity.
The term often implies a rigorous, traditional approach emphasizing grammar, logic, and rhetoric (the trivium) as foundational disciplines.
Someone with a classical learning background has studied Homer, Virgil, and Cicero: His classical learning showed in every speech he gave.
