ADVANCED LATIN

Full year - One credit

This is a continuation of the work that was started in the Latin I course. The subjunctive and gerundive are taught before students graduate to reading many of the famous Latin works: Livy, The Argonauts, Caesar and Pliny. Students will take the National Latin Exam in March and the Comprehensive Regents examination in Latin at the end of the year. Those who receive a grade of 85 or higher on the Regents exam will be granted a three-year sequence. Because this class is generally small in size, Advanced Latin can be intimate and fun. Tangents can be followed into aspects of vocabulary in other languages or history and culture, thus broadening everyone’s horizons.
