Beginner Latin I: Experimental Cohort (L100)
LEARN MOREIn this experimental new course, students brand-new to the Latin language will build the foundations necessary for successfully learning Latin. Using the book Gesta Egberti and the Latin Grammar 3 curriculum, students will learn tons of vocabulary and fundamental Latin grammar. In class, we will read, speak, and write in Latin. -
Beginner Latin I (L101)
LEARN MOREWhether 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! -
Beginner Latin II (L102)
LEARN MOREIn this course you will continue the grammatical and vocabulary work you began in Latin 101. You will continue reading Lingua Latina: Familia Romana and Colloquia Personarum, and you will also continue to work through our digital interactive textbook. You will continue to read, speak, and understand Latin as its own language – rather than as a code that needs translating into English first. -
Beginner Latin III (L103)
LEARN MOREIn this course you will complete your introduction to the Latin grammar system. You will finish reading Lingua Latina: Familia Romana as well as dip into Luigi Miraglia's sparkling prose renditions of famous episodes from Greco-Roman mythology.

Intermediate Latin I: Introduction to Latin Prose (L201)

Intermediate Latin II: Introduction to Latin Poetry (L202)
LEARN MOREThis is a crash course in Latin poetry. We will read verse from a wide variety of poets, including Ovid, Catullus, Phaedrus, and Martial. We will closely examine the varieties of Latin prosody, and learn how to read and recite the poetry we are studying, with particular attention paid to some of the most important meters found in Latin verse. -
Advanced Latin I: Ovidii Metamorphoses (L301)
LEARN MOREOvid was one of the greatest poets writing during the Golden Age of Roman poetry. In the Metamorphoses, 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. -
Advanced Latin II: Pro Archia Poeta (L302)
LEARN MOREWhen Cicero went to court to defend his old rhetoric teacher, he could not have known that his courtroom defense would change the course of history. Over 1300 years later, the great Renaissance humanist Francesco Petrarca discovered the lost manuscript of Cicero's oration. Pro Archia Poeta quickly became the creed of the emerging humanist movement in Italy, and ever since, it has remained a touchstone for those who champion the humanities. -

Interested in one-on-one instruction? Looking for a customized course of study? Have a unique schedule that doesn’t fit our normal class schedule? Our one-on-one Tutorials exist in order to meet the needs of any student at any skill level, from Beginner to Expert. We can simply replicate a normal class curriculum in the tutorial, or we can pursue a unique course of study suited to your needs and interests.
Looking for ALI’s Latin for Kids programs?
We run three separate Latin tracks for younger students: for elementary, middle, and high school students. Perfect for homeschool families, “flex” classical schools, and anyone looking for tutoring or enrichment for their young student.
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.
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!
