The Boulder Classics Department now co-ordinates听a Classics outreach program at Casey Middle School. Meeting once a week during an afterschool period, we 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. Our volunteers introduce students to the basics of the Latin language while exploring Roman culture and its connections to our own, using high energy activities that keep students engaged. We are motivated by a desire to share our love of Classics with students who otherwise have little opportunity to explore our field, and we hope thereby to show that the study of Classics is meant for - and can truly benefit - everyone.
