Latin I

Full-year course. This introductory course is designed to excite students about Latin and give them a foundation for continued study in high school or at the college level. Over the course of the academic year, students encounter Latin through a rich reading of Roman culture and history. Students will read, understand, and interpret Latin. To achieve these means, they will use and develop reading, writing, and listening skills. Students can expect to read, write, hear, and speak Latin. Students will use skills in the following areas and build global competency skills for future careers and experience based on the World-readiness Standards for Learning Languages from the ACTFL: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.

We recommend that students enrolling in Latin I be comfortable with the topics covered in Grammar II. Grammar instruction is not a pre- or co-requisite, however we have found that students are more successful learning a new language when they have a strong understanding of grammar rules. Use the placement tests found in our grammar course descriptions to find the appropriate grammar course for your student.




One of the best organized and most clear classes I ever took in terms of work. Tons of great resources for doing homework, taking notes, and studying! I always felt like I knew what to do and the class itself was really fun. - Student Course Evaluation
Thank you for inspiring my kids! This is the kind of learning I expect for them. Every minute was well worth their time.

The instructor did a wonderful job with the organization of this online class. Building in daily retrieval practice meant that my child had enough review on the subjects to progress well throughout the year. Feedback was prompt and thorough. This was, hands- down, one of the best online classes for K-12 that I have seen.
