Latin II

Sections and Teachers

Prerequisites

Admission to Latin II is automatic for those who have finished Latin I, but open to outside applicants only with instructor approval. We do not require or expect Greek, though some familiarity with Greek is always beneficial.

Recommended background

As noted above, there are no prerequisites, and experience has shown that there is no particular ideal age to begin. We have had adult students and students as young as eleven. The earlier a student can begin, the further he or she can go before college.

Teacher's notes:

For students coming from the Regina Coeli program, Latin II will require some make-up work, since it begins with chapter 21 of Wheelock's. This can be achieved through a summer course, by private preparation, by tutorial, or by other arrangements: contact Dr. McMenomy or one of the instructors as listed to make arrangements.
