Latin 1 –
This class is for first year Latin students, grades 3 – 6. Your student will be learning vocabulary, Latin (and English!) grammar, and Latin sayings (such as E Pluribus Unum). Also included in the class will be a smattering of Roman history (from New Testament times), puzzles, prayers and songs.
Grammar coverage includes 1st and 2nd declension nouns, 1st and 2nd conjugation verbs, 1st and 2nd declension adjectives, the irregular verb to be, and 1st and 2nd person pronouns. Prayers and songs include Benedic Domine (Table Blessing), Pater Noster (the Lord’s Prayer), Dona Nobis Pacem, Adeste Fidelis and Christus Vincit. In addition, in every lesson we will be learning simple English derivatives of Latin words to help build vocabulary.
We will be using Latina Christiana I from Memoria Press as our main text, and will also be using Ludere Latina I (Latin Games) as a supplement to help build vocabulary retention.

Latin 2 –
This class is for students, grades 4 – 6, who have completed Latin 1 (Latina Christiana I), and are ready to move into book II.
Upon completion of this course, the student will have learned 400 Latin vocabulary words, all five declensions, model principal parts for all four conjugations, three verb tenses, the use of the nominative and accusative cases, prepositional phrases, Latin hymns and prayers, and 50 conversational Latin expressions. Study of Latin derivatives also continues from Latin 1.

Latin 3 –
This class is for both students who have completed Latin 2 (Latina Christiana II) and older students (7th grade and up) who have had no previous Latin experience.
The text book for this course is Henle First Year Latin, a book that was originally published in 1945, and written for students in High School. Our Latin 3 class will be covering only Units 1 and 2 from the text which thoroughly cover Latin nouns. The exercises and readings teach Roman and American history, as well as history of the early Christian Church. Henle is a Catholic text, but I have found that Protestants can easily skip over any references to Catholic doctrine, if they wish. The main advantages I have found with this text are the evident Christian perspective and the orderly presentation of the concepts to be learned.
Although there will be a lot of memorization required (of vocabulary and grammar rules), the main thrust will be on developing an understanding of grammar and how it is used in translating from Latin to English, and from English to Latin. Each lesson will also include a study of the derivatives of Latin words.
The students in this class will have homework through the week that consists of memorization and completion of exercises. I will ask the students to correct their own exercises as they do them, which will give them immediate feedback of their comprehension and understanding. I will also be available for help through the week via email.
This is a 24 week class, divided into two semesters of 12 weeks each. Tuition is by semester, book fees are for the entire year.
