CLASS DESCRIPTION
This course is the continuation of Latin 1. In this class, students will complete Wheelock’s Latin and practice reading longer and more complex passages from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors. The latter half of the course will orient students towards the foundational genres of Roman literature such as epic, history, lyric poetry, epistles, and satire.
The aim of Latin 2 is twofold: firstly to provide students a strong grammatical and philological foundation that will enable them to read well whether they continue onto Latin 3, college Latin courses, or study independently. Second, and just as importantly, this class aims to encourage a love and understanding of the Latin language and its literature throughout the ages.
Latin 2 Placement: Latin 2 assumes that its students have finished the first 20 chapters of Wheelock’s Latin. Students who have not taken Latin 1 at the House of Humane Letters, but have prior Latin experience can print out our Latin 2 Placement Test at the link below. Please read carefully and print. We suggest that the parent of the prospective student supervise the exam. When it is completed, scan the finished exam and email it to Dr. Phillips at [email protected].
Latin 2 - Policy Guidelines for Live and Self-Paced Students
Due to the nature of a language class, we will have a slightly different policy on how to accommodate both live and self-paced students to ensure that all of our students are receiving the full benefits of the class (as much as possible).
There are 2 potential options:
Teacher Bio
Dr. Phillips received a degree in Latin and Greek from Hillsdale College and completed her PhD in Classical Studies from University of California, Santa Barbara.
In addition to her experience teaching Latin from kindergarten to college students, Dr. Phillips shares with Mr. Banks a great love of the Latin language and especially of the poet Virgil.
We are thrilled that she has joined our team and are eager to offer a thorough and enthusiastic Latin Program. What other academy can offer Latin classes with not only experienced teachers, but teachers who regularly read The Aeneid in Latin for fun?
