Why Latin with Maximum Classics?
Latin is foundational to the English language, and knowing a little bit of Latin can improve understanding of English vocabulary and grammar. Maximum Classics is an enjoyable and accessible way of harnessing this power of Latin for English literacy.
The schools course is designed to be taught by non-specialist teachers and includes planning for four years’ teaching, lessons, worksheets and ancillary materials, including training videos.
The home learning course takes learners from the origins of language through to translating Latin stories using videos, workbooks, quizzes and progress tracking.
We recently had a review day with our trust – they deep dived Latin and were in complete awe of it. Thank you so much for continuing to support our staff and develop this incredible scheme – it truly has revolutionised how we teach languages at All Saints. One of the visitors was a linguist herself and thought it was ‘genius’ – direct quote! They spoke to children to gather ‘pupil voice’ and said they were inundated with responses from children saying how much they loved Latin and were so proud to be learning it … It’s such an integral part of our curriculum now and we really do love it.
Who is it for?
We believe that all children can enjoy and benefit from learning Latin and discovering the ancient world, no matter their educational setting or geographical location. Our range of courses are tailored for both school and home settings.
