This is a yearlong course of intensive Latin designed to provide the high school student with a basic reading of the forms and variety of ancient Roman literature. In the first semester, the basic vocabulary, grammar and simple syntax of the language are studied, and authors of the Roman republican period are surveyed with illustrative reading passages excerpted from the ancient writings. In the second semester, the advanced grammatical forms and complex syntax of the language are studied, and authors of the Roman imperial age are surveyed with translations of extended historical and literary texts undertaken.

This is the entry level course for the Latin language. More than 65 percent of our English vocabulary is derived from Latin words. Learning Latin builds a larger English vocabulary--an important asset. We will cover the first third of Latin grammar and morphology.
There are elements in our American heritage that are distinctively Roman. It is not sufficient to simply recognize them; we must understand their value and contribution to western civilization and its ongoing development. Latin studies will highlight significant Roman achievements, their value today, and how they affect us intellectually, artistically, architecturally, militarily and politically.

The second year of Latin study will complete the noun declensions, comparison of adjectives, pronouns and attack the more complex grammatical elements of the Latin language. Historically, during first semester we will explore the monarchial period and the early Republic. The study of Roman religous practices and the mythology embraced by the ancients will take us in the new year. Our study will then focus on the social, political and military shifts from monarchy to Republic and from Republic to Empire.

The first semester of Western Civilization will focus on the evolution of homo sapiens from prehistory to history, from culture to civilization. We will examine the motivations and processes of empire building by ancient civilizations and the weaknesses that contributed to their collapse.
The second semester will examine the major periods of the Middle Ages in Western Europe, the shifts in cultural, political and economic development after the fall of the Roman empire in the West. We will examine how that development culminated in the Renaissance and how the Renaissance contributed to the Reformation and patterns of a New World order.
