Course summary

If you enjoyed Latin GCSE, you will love Latin A-Level. The A-Level course is very similar to the GCSE in its themes, but with additional time to spend consolidating and improving Latin vocabulary and language skills; improving English to Latin translation capability; and increased exposure to Latin literature, and the society, history and values driving it. The course is suitable for anyone who has enjoyed and succeeded in Latin GCSE. In particular, A Level Latin will appeal to those who love learning foreign languages, or studying literature, or diving into the nuances of language and words, or understanding logical patterns and applying them, or challenging themselves through problem solving.
