Also, the IV is occasionally major if you're using the melodic minor, which you will be in classical. Common Classical progressions are usually centered around I-V-I cadences.
That`s right.
You get those chords when harmonizing the minor scale with triads.
If you wanna include other chords than triads; try harmonizing the scale with seventh chords or nineth chords:
Min7....Dim7....Maj7....Min7....Min7....Maj7....Dom7.
..................or..............................
Min9....Dim7....Maj9....Min9....Min9....Maj9....9
The Harmonic Minor gives you:
Min7....Dim7....Dom+....Dim....+....M....5b
