Latin and Classical Studies

VISION

Students of international languages will communicate and interact in the international language with growing confidence in real-life contexts, and will develop an awareness of the multicultural and plurilingual nature of the modern world. Students of classical languages will read and translate in the classical language with growing confidence in classroom contexts, and will develop an appreciation of the interconnectedness of ancient and modern languages and the rich cultural legacy of the classical world. All students of languages will develop the knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong language learning. Students in the Classical Civilization course will develop an appreciation of the rich cultural legacy of the classical world. All students in the program will develop the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to participate fully as citizens in Canada and in the world.
