Unexpected benefit of learning Latin for children:
- Latin study is likely to have academic benefits for your child across all subjects.
- Learning Latin helps increase Math scores. It appears that because Latin’s grammatical structure has much in common with the structure of mathematical logic, learning Latin may have knock-on benefits in Math.
- Latin helps children with their grasp of basic grammar and syntax. It also builds their vocabulary.
- Learning Latin makes grasping another language easier. Studying Latin provides the foundation for learning other modern foreign languages – even German or Russian.
- Latin teaches children about Ancient History. Learning Latin and the Classics opens children’s eyes to the wonders of classical civilization and gives them new cultural reference points.
- Latin prepares children for scientific, legal, or medical careers.
- Latin develops a child for computer programming. Since computer programming uses its own set of languages, its rules are a lot easier to understand with a Latin background.
Class description:
This course serves as an introduction to the Latin language and Roman culture. Latin will be taught via the reading method. The reading method teaches fundamental Latin grammar and vocabulary within the context of a Latin text. The text also provides a means by which students can explore Roman culture through a number of projects that focus on history, mythology, and culture. The end of the year culminates in a performance designed and presented cooperatively by the students.
