Latin II w/ Henle
2026-2027
“I will say at once, quite firmly, that the best grounding for education is the Latin grammar… because even a rudimentary knowledge of Latin cuts down the labor and pains of learning almost any other subject by at least 50 percent.” -Dorothy Sayers
This 2nd year high school Latin course will conclude Henle’s text, First Year Latin, by completing Units 6 through 14. The primary content of this course will follow the Mother of Divine Grace syllabus: "The text introduces vocabulary in each lesson and refers the student to the accompanying Grammar for the corresponding declensions, conjugations, and grammatical rules. The text also has a variety of exercises that will test the student on the new material that is covered in the lesson as well as passages to translate.”
In addition, each student will participate in the National Latin Exam in the spring semester. Only limited time will be spent in class for exam prep, but guidance will be provided for prep at home. The course fee includes the estimated NLE registration fee.
> Latin I will be offered again in 2027-28.
HOMEWORK
Students should expect to spend about 1 hour per homework day on course work. Depending on the student, this could be more during major test weeks.
PARENT RESPONSIBILITY
Parents will need to be involved with the student for about 15-20 minutes per homework day to be available for students to complete oral translations and to check daily work for errors so that the student does not *learn* the errors.
