  • Latin 7

    In Latin 7, we introduce the basics of Latin: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and core vocabulary. Students explore Latin readings and learn how to use inflection rather than word order to figure out what a sentence says. These readings weave together grammar lessons with introductions to Roman literature, culture, and mythology, and we highlight aspects of the curriculum that tie in with other academic disciplines.

  • Latin 8

    In Latin 8, students complete the introduction to the basics of Latin and begin to read brief selections of Roman literature. We focus on the formation and use of the subjunctive mood and more complex grammatical constructions, such as indirect statement. After students finish the textbook sequence, they engage with works of prose and poetry by ancient authors.
