High School Latin 1: September 2024 - June 2025

In this course your student will learn Latin through engaging pictures, sentences, and short stories. No need to spend hours suffering through grammar charts and dry vocabulary lists that get you nowhere. Instead, you will begin listening to, understanding, speaking, reading, and laughing in Latin from the very first day of class. This course is designed particularly for high school students (grades 9-12) as well as for middle school students who have previous Latin experience. After completing High School Latin 1, students will move on to High School Latin 2.
