Latin

Course summary

Latin and Greek are the languages of two ancient civilisations which have shaped the face of the modern world. They continue to provide a rigorous and highly stimulating education, especially at this level, and are universally respected as indicators that the pupil has worked hard to master a difficult and complex subject. They demand attention to minute points of detail, while also seeing the bigger picture of the ancient cultures whose ideas they express: they call for a sense of style and a feeling for literature. Above all, they show us a world vastly different from - yet in many ways so similar to - our own, and this is what makes them supremely interesting and educational.
