The Â鶹ӰԺ Classics Department now co-ordinatesÌýanÌýÌýsiteÌýat Casey Middle School: using Aequora’s specially designed curriculum, weÌýharness the classical languages’ power to improve literacy while making the ancient mediterranean world fun and accessible to students of allÌýbackgrounds.ÌýStudents who take Latin routinely outperform their peers on the verbal section of the SAT and on otherÌýstandardized tests.ÌýThat’s far from the only reasonÌý, though.ÌýThe textbook we use,ÌýAequora: Teaching Literacy with Latin, introduces the basics of Latin vocabulary and grammar, Roman culture and mythology, andÌýconnections between Latin, English, and Spanish, all through games and activities designed to show students that learning Latin is fun! AequoraÌýis shaped by a belief that everyone should have access to Latin and by a vision of Classics as an inclusive, diverse, and socially engaged field.Ìý
