Latin II
This is a one-year course intended for students who have completed one year of Latin. (Usually this course begins at the 9th grade level.) It is the second of three required courses for the foreign language sequence in Latin. It focuses on mastery of intermediate Latin grammar and vocabulary. Cultural focus is on the life and times of the Roman poet Horace and the first century B.C., but heavy emphasis is placed on the events leading up to the assassination of Julius Caesar and the fallout of this event. In addition, ancient Greece and its role in this era is explored. Oral and written drills of all kind (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) are common activities as well as group work on translation and comprehension. Daily quizzes are to be expected. The ability to recall and synthesize endings and forms from Latin I and to organize and utilize these forms is essential to success in this course.

Latin III
This is a one-year course intended for students who have completed two years of Latin. (Usually this course begins at the 10th grade level.) It is the third of three required courses for the foreign language sequence in Latin. It focuses on mastery of intermediate and advanced Latin grammar and vocabulary. Students study the continuing exploits of the textbook's main character, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, who becomes the famous Roman poet Horace. In second semester, students begin reading the Latin of Roman authors, Cicero, Caesar, Catullus, and Petronius. Oral and written drills of all kind (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) are common activities as well as group work on translation and comprehension. Daily quizzes are to be expected. The ability to recall and synthesize endings and forms from Latin I and II and to organize and utilize these forms is essential to success in this course.

AP Latin: Vergil
This is a one-year course intended for students with three or four years of experience in Latin. This course is optional and is offered alternate years to 11th and 12th graders. Students read the entire Aeneid in translation and then translate large sections from Books I-XII. Students read and then practice writing critical essays on given passages, learn to scan and recite lines of the work in dactyllic hexameter, and focus on identifying grammatical structures and literary devices. Daily vocabulary quizzes and frequent translation tests are the norm as are in-class sight translation and scansion exercises. At the end of the course, students take the AP Latin Vergil exam.

The curriculum of Latin classes in the Foreign Language Department of Episcopal High School of Baton Rouge is based on the National Standards for Classical Language Learning.
