Latin

In the Senior Phase, pupils can continue their study of Latin from National 4 through to Advanced Higher. These courses offer a unique blend of language, literature, and history, allowing learners to deepen their understanding of the ancient world while developing key skills in translation, analysis, and critical thinking. Pupils explore original Latin texts—ranging from Roman myths to political speeches and poetry—while also examining the cultural and historical contexts in which they were written. Latin supports literacy, attention to detail, and logical reasoning, making it highly valued for a wide range of academic and career pathways. At Advanced Higher, learners engage in independent research and in-depth literary study, preparing them well for university-level work.
