Beginner Latin I

Latin 101

Whether you are interested in Classical or Ecclesiastical Latin writers, the first steps are the same. In this course you will be introduced to the core of Latin grammar and vocabulary – we will also read over one hundred pages of Latin along the way! If you want to learn how to read Latin as a language, as opposed to a clunky form of English in need of decoding, this course is for you! After completing Latin 101, students will move on to Beginner Latin II (L102), which will prepare them for our Intermediate sequence.

Beginner Latin II

Latin 102

In this course you will continue the grammatical and vocabulary work you began in Beginner Latin I (Latin 101). You will continue reading Familia Romana and Colloquia Personarum, and you will also continue to work through our digital interactive textbook. By the end of these books, you will have learned the entirety of the Latin grammatical system, over 1,800 Latin vocabulary words, and learned how to read, speak, and understand Latin as its own language – rather than as a code that needs translating into English first.

Intermediate Latin I

Latin 201

Are you ready to super-charge your Latin reading and speaking abilities? In the Intermediate sequence, we will finish reading Lingua Latina: Familia Romana, which includes selections from multiple ancient Roman poets. Then, we’ll plunge into the Latin Bible, namely the last section of Genesis: “the epic of Joseph.” This is the story of Jacob’s son, Joseph, who is sold into slavery in Egypt and eventually rises to power in the court of the Pharaoh. After completing Latin 201, students will move on to Latin 202, which will prepare them for our Advanced sequence.

Intermediate Latin II

Latin 202

From Anchises clinging to his son Aeneas as they escape burning Troy to the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus by the bank of the River Tiber, this late-intermediate course will cover the mythical origins of the Eternal City. We will be reading excerpts from Hans Oerberg’s Roma Aeterna, Virgil’s Aeneid, and Livy’s Ab Urbe Condita. After L202, students will move into L301: Ovidii Metamorphoses.

Advanced Latin I/II

Latin 301/302: Ovidii Metamorphoses

Publius Ovidius Naso, or Ovid, was one of the greatest poets writing during the Golden Age of Roman poetry, and the Metamorphoses is his masterpiece. In this massive, epic-like poem, Ovid narrates, in dactylic hexameter, the history of the world from its creation to the apotheosis of Julius Caesar, all through various mythological stories of transformation. In this course, we will be reading a few of these stories and discussing them in Latin.

Latin for Kids

Latin Teacher Boot Camp

Do you plan on teaching Latin? Whether you are a teacher about to start teaching Latin this fall, a curious homeschool parent, or a headmaster interested in using a living language methodology at your school, this is the course for you. 

We are going to get you reading, listening to, and speaking in Latin over the course of five weeks of intense study.

Latin teacher boot camp
Of all the challenges of a seminary Ph.D. program, the language competency exam made me the most apprehensive. I told Jonathan about my concerns and described what I thought I needed, individual tutoring adapted to my pace and lots of opportunities to ask questions. He designed a study course structure to meet my needs and talked me through each step of the learning process. I highly recommend his tutoring. Oh, and I passed my Latin competency exam! Thanks, Jonathan!
