Latin

Through the study of Latin grammar and syntax, students master the richness of English as a language and a literature as well as learn how a language and its structures develop and work.

We believe that the study of Latin needs to be set in its context, and that the content of the assigned readings can best be appreciated with an understanding of Roman society, history, and habits of thought. In advanced courses, class discussions regarding translation and multi-faceted projects are incorporated into each trimester. By the end of their senior year, students will be able to appreciate and read original works of Roman authors in Latin, so that they can take an advanced level college author class.
