French I, II, III CP
The French program helps students to recognize, pronounce and understand French
through aural-oral method. As communication skills develop, the program adds
vocabulary and grammar necessary for reading and writing. Students will also learn
about culture and art work from the Francophone world.
Latin I, II, III, IV H
Students of Latin achieve many valuable incidental benefits: an awareness of linguistic
form and grammatical structure, better mastery of English language and literature,
increased ability to learn other languages, considerable first-hand acquaintance with the
ancient Greek and Roman culture, training in logical thinking, and methods/ideals
learned through the student of Latin to other fields of intellectual endeavor. Students will
be able to translate and discuss Caesar's Commentaries in the 3rd year and at the end of
the program, they may compete for the National Latin Scholarship and a 4-year
scholarship through the Classics Department of Catholic University, Washington DC.
