This course introduces students to the primary elements of the Latin language, focusing on core grammar rules and vocabulary, while developing skills that allow them to translate Latin sentences. This includes weekly practice with Latin pronunciation, noun declensions, verb conjugations, and sentence construction. By the end of the course, students will be able to read Latin at a fundamental level and understand many of the prayers of the Church in Latin.
Hybrid Format
High School course offerings are presented in a hybrid format to students both on-campus and online. On-campus students meet at the Saint Mary Magdalen Center at 511 Kearsarge Mountain Rd in Warner, New Hampshire. Students attending online will need a computer or laptop, a wired headset, and internet bandwidth of at least 10 Mbps. You may need more if you plan to have multiple students attending online classes simultaneously.
Two-Day and Four-Day Schedules
This course has the option of a Monday/Wednesday or a Monday through Thursday schedule. New content is introduced during the Monday/Wednesday meetings. The expectation for students who choose the Monday/Wednesday option is that students work independently on Tuesday/Thursday for consistency and to complete weekly assignments. Students who enroll in the Monday through Thursday schedule use Tuesdays and Thursdays to work with guided instruction to complete their weekly assignments on campus or online with the guidance of the instructor. The four-day option is great for the primary educator who would like to be relatively hands-off with the instruction of the subject.
Course Dates
Thirty-two instruction weeks beginning on August 25th - May 15th with breaks at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter Break, and Holy Week/Easter Week
