Latin

World-renowned Latin courses from Cambridge

From Minimus to the Cambridge Latin Course, our Latin resources encourage students to immerse themselves into Roman culture through stories, myths and historical background, while also building and advancing their language skills.

Elementary Latin

Join in the fun with Minimus - a mix of myths, stories, grammar support and historical background! Minimus the mouse and his Roman family present a lively introduction to the Latin language for students in grades 2–6.
These new editions feature exciting new characters and storylines that provide historically grounded insight into the Roman world, as a context for language learning. Underpinned by language acquisition research, the series encourages learners to read Latin from the first page.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Latin Classroom: a toolkit for teachers

As classics enrolment in secondary education declines, educators are grappling with the same questions: how can we show our students that Classics is for everyone, not just an elite group who look and sound a certain way? How do we teach the problematic and uncomfortable truths of antiquity in a way that is sensitive to the diverse backgrounds of the students sitting in front of us? What can we do to build Classics classrooms where every student feels seen and heard?

These professional development materials in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Latin Classroom series bring our North American Latin teaching community together through the sharing of initiatives, case studies, lesson ideas, and much more.

Cambridge School Classics Project

The Cambridge School Classics Project (CSCP) is a research and development project in the University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Education, established in 1966. The CSCP are the authors of the Cambridge Latin Course.

The aim of the CSCP is to help make the classical world accessible to as many students as possible, whatever their age or background. They do this by:

forging strong links with teachers and learners
advancing the pedagogy of Classics teaching through research and development
creating high quality, innovative teaching materials based on research and development
exploiting new technologies to reach out to new audiences and create cutting-edge materials

Jacque Myers

Teacher, Cambridge Latin Course

"I use the Cambridge Latin Course and absolutely love it. The stories are interesting (and often funny), and the grammar explanations make sense. There is no other textbook out there with such a wide variety of ancillary materials that are easily available."

Wendy Atkinson

Teacher, Minimus series

"I see excited children making connections between Latin and English words. It’s a great feeling for me to be part of their enthusiasm."
