FROM THE TEACHER

Latin IV is the reward for the hard work of Latin I, II, and III. In this course, students explore Latin language and culture through the voices of its most famous authors and poets.  The whole adventure is framed as a “whodunit” in which the student is tasked with solving the crime!  Hear Romans’ voices in their own words!  Travel back in time to the splendor and glory of the Roman Empire at its peak.  I think you will enjoy this course as you achieve fluency and language proficiency to unlock the rich heritage of Latin texts from the last two and a half centuries!
