At The Latin Programme we are deeply committed to working with disadvantaged schools and at-risk pupils.
There is evidence that Latin works particularly well in such environments as studies in the inner-city areas of New York, Los Angles, Washington and Philadelphia have:
"dramatically demonstrated how Latin can help underprivileged inner-city children achieve great improvement in English communication skills" (Sussman, 1978, p. 351).
As their communication skills improve we have witnessed a marked increase in childrens’ self-confidence, participation at school and their sense of belonging.
Here is Jonathan, one of our teachers, talking about the impact The Latin Programme has had one of his students and another, including David, reading a letter written to the London Mayor in Latin!
Aren't our students wonderful? Just try not to smile while you watch.
