Latin 4

Latin IV is an advanced high school course designed to refine students' Latin language skills by building upon foundational knowledge. It focuses on advanced grammatical concepts, translation, conversational practice, and cultural immersion. Students study Latin's role in the Christian Church and Roman history, and engage in creative projects, such as a culminating monologue incorporating a Latin quotation. The course aims to expand students' vocabulary, appreciation for Roman culture, and understanding of both Latin and English grammar. It also emphasizes effective study skills.

Key aspects of the course include a review of grammar and translation skills from previous years, in-depth exploration of advanced grammatical features, and the introduction to key authors through the 'Latinist Spotlight' series. It is equivalent to one credit of high school foreign language.
