The Cambridge Schools Classics Project (CSCP) was established in 1966 with funding from the Nuffield Foundation and the Schools Council and has been at the forefront of Classics education ever since. CSCP aims to make the classical world accessible to as many students as possible - whatever their age or background - by
- forging strong links with teachers and learners
- advancing the pedagogy of Classics teaching through research and development
- creating high quality, innovative teaching materials based on research and development
- exploiting new technologies to reach out to new audiences and create cutting-edge materials
CSCP is best known for the internationally successful Cambridge Latin Course (CLC), currently in its 6th edition in North America and its 5th in the rest of the world. In 2017, over 90% of UK secondary schools which offered Latin used the Cambridge Latin Course as part of their programme.
In addition to the CLC, there are a number of other CSCP initiatives which support the teaching of Classics, including the provision of cross-curricular materials for primary and secondary schools, including Classic Tales, Primary Ancient Greeks and Amarantus and his Neighbourhood. Members of the CSCP team also contribute to advocacy, research and teacher training work across the sector.
