Latin I
Terms: 3
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12, PG
After a rapid review of English grammar, students are introduced to Latin nouns of the first and second declension, the verb system, and English vocabulary derived from Latin roots. In the winter term, they learn the remaining conjugations and tenses, the passive voice, and pronouns, and they begin to study Roman mythology and history. Participles, infinitives, nouns of the third declension, and relative pronouns are covered in the spring term. Supporting readings are done about life in Pompeii.
