Course Description: This course provides students with continued study of the Latin Language.  Students will learn advanced Latin grammar and vocabulary and be introduced to both Ancient and Medieval history and Literature to provide context for the language.  Finally the course will look at the ways that Latin language and culture have influence the modern world.

This course exceeds the CP requirements by delving deeply into authentic Latin texts and asking students to draw their own independent conclusions from historical Roman and Medieval authors.

Course Goal: Students will gain the skills to independently approach authentic Latin texts.
