The Boulder Classics Department now co-ordinates听an听听site听at Casey Middle School: using Aequora鈥檚 specially designed curriculum, we听harness the classical languages鈥� power to improve literacy while making the ancient mediterranean world fun and accessible to students of all听backgrounds.听Students who take Latin routinely outperform their peers on the verbal section of the SAT and on other听standardized tests.听That鈥檚 far from the only reason听, though.听The textbook we use,听Aequora: Teaching Literacy with Latin, introduces the basics of Latin vocabulary and grammar, Roman culture and mythology, and听connections between Latin, English, and Spanish, all through games and activities designed to show students that learning Latin is fun! Aequora听is 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.听
