About
The Cambridge Latin Course was developed by the Cambridge School Classics Project in the United Kingdom, with the first edition appearing in 1970. The five-unit course teaches Latin through a continuous story set initially in Pompeii and then in Roman Britain and Alexandria, introducing grammar and vocabulary in context. The course is published by Cambridge University Press and is accompanied by a digital Cambridge Latin Course Online edition. Widely used in British secondary schools and in American independent schools, the Cambridge Latin Course is also used by homeschool families, particularly those who prefer a reading-based inductive approach to Latin over grammar-first programs.
