Why do We Teach Latin?
A solid understanding of Latin words and grammar does wonders when it comes to understanding English grammar and vocabulary. The ability to read critically goes hand in hand with the ability to carefully parse and interpret language. Our brains use Latin to learn to read, write, and speak a more intelligent form of English.
Students with two years of Latin training will be prepared to think more clearly, to express themselves more deftly, and to read literature more deeply than their peers who have no Latin grammar and vocabulary. In addition to supporting the advancement of English, our Latin courses provide historical, cultural, and geographical content. It reinforces the subject areas of history, literature, and civics. It also serves to deepen appreciation of our modern western civilization’s roots.
