Abstract	The paper explores practical strategies for using classical studies to enhance the education of adolescent students, especially those who are gifted. It reviews progress, since 1900, in Latin teaching methods in Great Britain and the Netherlands and describes more recent work in South Africa, including the development of new curricula for teaching Latin as well as the annual reading competitions, linguistic and historical quizzes, and art competitions sponsored by the Classical Association of South Africa. A project is described in which 20 gifted students (aged 13-17) were asked to review new juvenile classical books and teaching packets. It spawned a range of other projects which are summarized. The students produced a slide-tape show, the full script of which is appended to the paper. The book and teaching packet reviews were edited by a student and reworked by the teacher in a review article which is also appended. Conclusions drawn from the project confirm that the classics have much to offer the gifted and that they also offer a new awareness that even random dipping into the classical world is a rewarding experience for both average and gifted pupils.
