Latin A

Description

Latin A is a beginning Latin course that takes students in grades 3-6 step by step through learning the basics of:

• Noun declensions
• Verb conjugations
• Use of adjectives
• Latin prayers & sayings
• Basic Roman history

This class is also a perfect way to begin training for the National Latin Exam.

Why study Latin? This is an exceptional and time-tested way to learn English grammar, vocabulary, and attention to detail. Additionally, it is a fantastic basis for understanding Western Culture, as language reflects culture. Mid elementary school is a perfect time to introduce the basics of foreign language study as many students memorize easily and well and are not intimidated by foreign language studies.

Our program will gently guide students through the basics of Latin study, setting them up for further success as foreign language students. This program is an integrated program, so students are not learning random, decontextualized conjugations or declensions, but instead learn vocabulary and order in a way that sets them up for mastery, success, and enthusiasm for language learning in the future. Additionally, Latin songs and prayers are part of the program, which students appreciate and enjoy learning.

Our dynamic, interactive small group classroom (class sizes are limited), allows students to grow and develop within a caring online community!

Combine this class with Classical Memory, Art and Music, Writing Skills and of course, NLE Prep for a robust and engaging year of learning and fun!
