Latin 1 is an accelerated introductory course that seeks to enrich understanding of the Latin language through practicing more complex grammatical constructions, reading, and interpreting Latin. This course is designed for Middle School students who have previously taken Latin 7 and Upper School students who have no prior experience with the Latin language. Along with an accelerated introduction to the language, students take a deeper dive into the historical context, exploring in detail what life was like in the Ancient Roman Empire in the 1st Century CE. Latin is certainly not a dead language in this course! You'll also learn to converse and interact using basic conversational Latin.
