What sort of pupil does it suit and what will they get out of the course?
This course would suit a pupil who has enjoyed the paralinguistic aspects of the Cambridge Latin Course but is also particularly comfortable with the linguistic challenges of the subject. A successful candidate in Latin with Greek will have a proven track record of industry and reliability; these qualities are essential because of the inevitable increase in workload. During this course pupils will experience elements of the culture, language and social and political life of the Greek civilisation which has inspired many later generations.
