All Genders Course;
This is one of two entry-level courses for the study of Latin at One Schoolhouse. Please review course selection guidance before registering. This course is intended for students who have not previously studied Latin. This course develops competency in linguistics, etymology, and Roman culture and history. Students explore the influence that the Romans had on modern society, including grammar and language structures, root words, and social and religious constructs. Students review English grammar constructions and then learn how language forms, including an overview of and practice with foundational Latin declensions and conjugations. Students do an extensive guided project on a topic connecting an ancient and modern theme, such as Spoken Latin and Italian, Slavery in Ancient Europe and Colonial America, The Evolution of the Language of Science, or Mythology and Monotheism. This course is appropriate for students just starting their Latin journey or students who are not intending to take the full Latin sequence but who are looking for a survey course in the Latin language and Roman culture. Students who successfully complete Latin – Beginning I are well-prepared to continue their studies in Latin – Beginning II.

"It's been a ton of fun and my teacher has done a great job with communication. She always helps me when I don't understand and grades quickly, which is very helpful because I never go into the next unit confused about what I just learned."
