Class Overview

Pre-Grammar Latin is an introductory course designed for 1st and 2nd grade students to lay a foundation for formal Latin grammar instruction in 3rd grade. Students will encounter the Latin language through engaging and joyful stories that introduce them to the beauty of God’s creation as expressed in Latin. In addition to these stories, students will explore ancient fables and wise sayings, learning both language and moral instruction. Class time will include memorizing Bible verses in both English and Latin, singing Latin songs, reading and performing Latin stories, and practicing conversational Latin—all within a framework that emphasizes Christian virtue and biblical truth.
