Hello,

A bit rusty of rules regarding capitalisation. Do we capitalise school subjects?

Thanks,

Nawee

Depends I would say. In expresions like "Institute of History" I'd say yes. Subjects like languages, eg "English", "Spanish" and "French" always yes. Subjects like "drama" or "natural science" no.
Does that help. Confused

Thank you.

Does the same go for "art" (drawing, handcrafts, etc.)?
