Latin Level 2

This course will deepen students’ understanding of the fundamentals of Latin grammar, syntax, and morphology. At all times, we will contextualize our study of the language in the history, literature, and culture of the ancient Roman people. Students will build upon their core Latin vocabulary and develop skills in translating Latin to the point that they will be able to read adapted passages of original Latin prose and poetry. This study will continue to build students’ knowledge base of English in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and overall comprehension—critical factors in success on standardized exams like the SSATs. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to take the National Latin Exam at the Introductory and Beginning Level. While foreign language curricula vary widely, this course will also prepare students to take a level 2 Latin class at many of the most prestigious private schools in the world.
