Accelerated elementary Latin. This course is designed for the highly motivated student who wants to get through elementary Latin in one year. It is run at the pace of a normal one-year college elementary course, and will require steady application and persistence. By the end of the course, the student will be ready to enter Latin III, enabling him or her to complete both AP Latin curricula by the end of the senior year, if desired.

Recommended background

No prior course work is required, though the summer Theoretical Grammar course may well be helpful for students not already somewhat familiar with formal grammatical structures.

Teacher's notes:

This course meets four days a week for 90 minutes a day. Course dates and times will be scheduled, and the course assigned to one of Scholars Online's regular Latin instructors, if minimum enrollment (6) is reached.
