Course Description:

Latin 1 CP is an introductory program designed to help the student attain an acceptable level of proficiency in four basic skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking - developed through materials in visually focused contexts to which students can easily relate. Students enter the world of the Romans, and through the medium of the Latin language, learn to identify the Roman world as if it were still the living culture it once was. Because more than half of all English words are derived from Latin, exercises in derivations are designed to improve the student’s command of both English and Latin.

Course Description:

Latin 2 commences at the point at which the introductory program ends and it continues to present the basic forms of vocabulary and syntax which facilitate the reading of authentic Latin literature. A strong emphasis is placed upon vocabulary, word derivation, and translation of Latin to English primarily through the textbook’s passages about the public and private life of the Romans. Latin 2 Honors introduces advanced material suitable for the reading of prominent Latin authors. The pace is faster, and the depth and scope of material is greater at this level. More oral and written work will be required and a greater degree of independence in completing assignments is expected.
