"There is an experiential component to the ancient world, there has to be. Otherwise, it starts to fall apart and you lost that little piece of reality."

Dr. David Yates brings the ancient world to life through immersive, hands-on teaching. Every year, students from Jackson Prep join us on campus to step into the roles of Greek and Roman soldiers, experiencing history through full-scale armor, shields and battlefield demonstrations. Teaching history isn’t just about reading—it’s about creating a personal connection to the past.
