Why Latin?
If you're new to Classical Education, you might ask yourself, what's the big deal with Latin? Why does my child need to learn this dead language?
The answer is simple:
Latin is the bedrock and foundation of Western Civilization.
Far more even than just the Romans, for nearly 2,000 years every major work of Western Civilization was written and read in this venerable language.
Many of the greatest works of theology, philosophy, government, rhetoric, and science were written in Latin. Learning the language is the key to unlocking not only deep insights into but also a deep love for these foundational Western texts.
You can only truly appreciate these authors and their deep insights when you hear them and understand them in their own language, as they themselves spoke, wrote, and taught.
How this course works
Video Lessons
All grammar and vocabulary lessons are taught via recorded video instruction. Your child can watch on his/her own schedule. They can pause, rewind, and rewatch videos as needed.
Exercises
After each video lesson there are a series of exercises your child will accomplish. These reinforce the lesson learned and give actual experience with the language. From there we grow into translating Latin.
Group Translating
Every week we meet together online as a class to work on translating. This a 45-minute small group session where we dive deep into real Latin authors and discuss the culture, history, and people of Rome.
Curriculum
The curriculum block is dynamic. As you add curriculum to your course, you'll see it automatically populate here.
Hi, I'm Your Instructor, Kyle Brown
I have a deep love and appreciation for the Latin language and Roman history, and I've been blessed with the opportunity to teach these classes in a variety of settings. I've taught Latin to all types of students, from middle schoolers to graduate students and everything in between. As a classical homeschooling father, I also know how important it is to provide your children with the best quality education you can. That's why I'm offering these courses. It's my goal to help bridge the gap for parents who want to offer their children the best Classical Education they can, but perhaps don't have a strong Latin background themselves. Parents, I'm here to tell you: it is possible! And I'm happy to help provide the solution. With you, the homeschooling parent, in mind I've designed these courses to be the perfect balance of flexible and hands-on. God bless.
