Classical Academic Press offers a well-regarded Latin program in two stages. Song School Latin (ages 6–9) introduces Latin vocabulary and basic concepts through original songs, colorful illustrations, and engaging activities. Children learn Latin words for animals, colors, numbers, and everyday objects through music that makes the vocabulary stick.

Latin for Children (three levels, ages 9–14) progresses into Latin grammar, translation, and reading. The program uses a combination of textbook instruction, chant-based memorization of grammar forms, and guided translation exercises. Each level includes a student edition, answer key, and optional DVD/streaming instruction.

What to Know

The approach is rigorous but joyful — a difficult combination to achieve with a subject as challenging as Latin. The programs are designed so that parents with no Latin background can teach them effectively. All pronunciation is provided via audio resources.

Pricing is affordable: Song School Latin runs about $25 and Latin for Children levels cost approximately $30–$40 each. Classical Academic Press also publishes Greek for Children and Spanish for Children using similar methods. The orientation is neutral — the materials are popular with both Christian and secular classical homeschoolers.
