Latin 1 provides students with a clear introduction to Latin grammar and reading that aims to delight them and cultivate in them the wonder of language. Students study noun declensions, verb conjugations, tenses, and other parts of speech such as adjectives, prepositions, and adverbs. They begin studying and translating adapted, original Latin paragraphs featuring the Roman historian Livy. Students also learn some of the history and culture of ancient Rome. Latin 1 teaches over 500 Latin vocabulary words and imparts an understanding of many English words derived from Latin.
The primary text the students use will be the the award-winning text, Latin Alive! Book 1 , the first of three books in the Latin Alive! series (For a closer look at the text used in this course, please follow this link and click “Look Inside”: Latin Alive! Book 1 ).
Please note: This course requires Version 3.0 of the text.
Note: Instructors use a Classical pronunciation, but students with an Ecclesiastical pronunciation are welcome.
Placement: Students entering Latin 1 do not need a placement evaluation as long as they meet the age/grade parameters for this course.
This course is designed as an introductory Latin course; no prior Latin instruction is required. However, the course is also recommended for students who have completed some introductory Latin or studied Latin roots and are ready to embark on a formal study of the language. Students should be able to study independently and be ready to memorize grammar and vocabulary (around 20 words per week) besides completing homework assignments.
High School Credit: This course is the equivalent of one high school credit in foreign language.
For each skill instructors have determined whether it is a prerequisite skill or a skill to be developed throughout the course. For lower school, instructors indicate where parent support is expected.
*Required texts are not included in the purchase of the course.
** Version 3.0 is required for this course. Older versions of the student edition are not compatible with the course.
*** The instructors will be adapting and augmenting the curriculum as they see best for the learning objectives of the course. Some vocabulary has been modified and the textbook readings adapted. Students should know that we will not be completing every exercise and reading available in the book in class. Additional materials provided by the instructors may include worksheets, games, and spoken Latin activities. As such, students should be prepared to regularly print PDF files supplied by their teacher well in advance of the class in which they will be used.
Edward Kotynski, Chair of Latin Department, grew up as a missionary kid in Indonesia, where his parents were Bible translators. He attributes his love of languages partly to his parents’ work and his childhood experience. He received his BA in ancient languages from Wheaton College in Illinois in 2004, and his MA in classical languages from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee in 2007. Mr. Kotynski has been teaching Latin and Greek for the last fifteen years, mostly at classical Christian schools. He loves sharing his passion for the ancient languages with his students, weaving in historical context and modern connections. He has edited two volumes of Latin Alive! for Classical Academic Press and has also been working on their Greek for Children series with Erin Valdez. He is very excited to be continuing with Scholé Academy this year. Besides Latin and Greek, Mr. Kotynski drinks coffee, loves reading, helps homeschool his kids, and plays board games. He lives with his wife, six children, and two cats, enjoying the craziness of life together. ejkotynski.scholeacademy@gmail.com
Amanda Reeves has a BA in Greek and Latin from Stanford University, where she received recognition in her department for both her enthusiasm for the classical world as well as her excellence in scholarship. After finishing her degree, she spent a year living abroad in Rome, Italy, designing and facilitating short-term study-abroad programs for students studying Latin through the Paideia Institute for Humanistic Study. She currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut, but as an avid traveler, can more times than not be found in Italy, Brazil, or anywhere else she thinks would be interesting to get to know. It is one of the great joys of her life to pass along her enthusiasm for Latin to her elementary, middle, and high school students. Having learned Latin online herself, Amanda is passionate about distance learning and enjoys integrating traditional grammar and translation methods with spoken Latin to produce the best educational experience for her students. She has taught and tutored Latin online for the last ten years and particularly enjoys seeing how each unique student’s personality shapes the learning environment. When she is not exploring the world, she spends her time waxing poetic about the Parthenon Marbles and Stanford football, always with a strong cup of coffee in hand. magistrareeves@gmail.com
Danae McGregor Edsall holds a B.A. in Classical Liberal Arts with an emphasis in Literature and Latin from Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, VA. Danae’s own background in the public, home, and private school traditions has provided her with a unique perspective on the intricacies of each system. She has taught in a variety of education models, including private, homeschool co-op, collaborative, classical, and subject-specific tutoring. Her teaching experience spans nearly all levels of education from primary to secondary school. Danae finds her deepest joy in teaching the Humanities, including English, Composition, Logic, Literature, History, Poetry, and most especially, Latin. Most recently, she taught Latin for five years and served one year as the Foreign Language Department Chair at a private school in northern Virginia, where she oversaw the administration of the Spanish, French, and Latin programs for the school. Danae believes that language plays a beautiful and powerful role in the pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful. Whether through reading well-known stories or writing a complex epigram, she is convinced that the study of language offers something for everyone to learn.
Danae currently lives in the mountains of Blacksburg, VA where she enjoys an active and often adventurous lifestyle. She spends much of her time weight training at a local gym, biking around the New River Valley on both road and trail, and hiking on the weekend with her husband. Danae is thankful for the Lord’s providence in her life to infuse her multi-faceted background with greater purpose than she can see, and she is excited to partner with her brothers and sisters in growing Christ’s kingdom through education. dmedsall.scholeacademy@gmail.com
Tyrone Benson graduated at the top of his class, summa cum laude and valedictorian, with a B.A. in Bible and Educational Ministry (double major) from Saint Louis Christian College, where he relished four semesters of Biblical Greek. Recognized by the faculty for his linguistic aptitude and achievement, he received the distinguished Greek award. During his college career, he served as lead campus tutor of Biblical Greek, and his Greek studies continued into graduate school. Tyrone went on to study both further Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. There he earned an advanced-track M.A. in Christian Education and an M.A. in Theology. During this time, he richly engaged the classical theological disciplines and entered the exciting world of classical Christian schools, along the way picking up the study and teaching of Latin. Tyrone is a lifelong student of various disciplines, but currently his focus lies within the Latin language. He has been teaching Latin Alive! for four years, and this will be his fifth as he begins as a Scholé instructor and tutor. He was drawn to Scholé by his love of restful learning. His pursuit is to instill the same love in all his students. Outside of class, Tyrone loves a game of ultimate frisbee, an engaging film, and a reflective conversation. magisterbenson.scholeacademy@gmail.com

We do not recommend using an iPad or other tablet for joining classes. An inexpensive laptop or netbook would be much better solutions, as they enable you to plug an Ethernet cable directly into your computer. Please note that Chromebooks are allowed but not preferred, as they do not support certain features of the Zoom video conference software such as breakout sessions and annotation, which may be used by our teachers for class activities.
High-Speed Internet Connection: You will also need access to high-speed Internet, preferably accessible via Ethernet cable right into your computer. Using Wi-Fi may work, but will not guarantee you the optimal use of your bandwidth. The faster your Internet, the better.

Just wondering about proper pronunciation of Latin numerals. Is “c” pronounced as “ch”? Is “g” pronounced as in “giant” or as in “golf”? Thanks to anyone who can advise me.
Classical Latin: C is actually pronounced K
Classical Latin: G is pronounced as g in golf
Ecclesiastical Latin: C is pronounced as CH
Ecclesiastical Latin: G is pronounced DZ as in giant
i would like to ask how i can write in latin the following date: 29-09-2002
This was very helpful. I’m a beginner in Latin, but some other websites don’t have this.
Somebody should please help me out..Am a beginner in latin language..My challenges are the alphabets and pronunciation…Help Help please
How can it be asserted that the correct pronunciation for Classical Latin can be defined? The original speakers didn’t exactly leave audio records, did they? I remember poor old ‘Chips’ (“Goodbye Mr Chips”) lamenting (as a teacher of boys) a directive on pronunciation which turned the Latin word vicissim from ‘veechissim’ into ‘we kissim’. I can’t help slipping into a sort of Italian pronunciation – which it sounds as if the Ecclesiastical pronunciation (I’ve not heard it) might be closer to.
@Richard M Thompson Records found of early schooling sessions replace the letter W for the letter V, implying that that is how V is pronounced. It was confusing even for the Romans.
@Richard M Thompson latin started in italy, aka rome. of coarse you would slip to italian
It is a pleasure to have such a variety of Latin words on my computer to learn or relearn as a daily diversion!
Please continue the potpourri of vocabula et verba to refresh my Gymnasium studies : ante septenginta novem annos !
I need help please …how can i write the date in latin
No,they didn’t leave audio records, but we can know how Latin was pronounced in ancient times several ways:
1. The Romans themselves wrote a lot about their language and how to pronounce it “correctly.” Public speaking was a high art and many rhetorical ‘handbooks’ about how to speak and how to pronounce words, survive.
2. The Roman empire was bi-lingual. Latin speakers in the west needed to learn Greek, Greek speakers in the east needed to learn Latin. Many instructional works still exist.
3. Errors and misspellings often reveal how a word was pronounced in everyday life – “habio” for “I have” rather than the correct “habeo.”
4. Transliteration to other languages and alphabets like Greek or Hebrew can reveal pronunciation. When Greeks spelled “Cicero” they could have used either Kappa or Sigma. They used Kappa, which means they pronounced it as “Kikero.”
I would like to know how can I write in latin the following date: 29-09-2001
Many Thanks!
God, those Romans were so stupid; they didn’t have a “zero.” Thanks to us Persians who discovered it and enabled the world to inherit all the points in heavens and earth.
Second Chapter: but we Persians hit the bottom and are now the scourge of the earth!
Moshiri, the Roman number for zero was “nihil,” which means nothing.
Hi, I would like to tattoo the year of birth of my parent’s, sister and myself on the inside of my forearms. I’m not really sure for example the year I was born (1954) should it read XIXLIV or MCMLIV I want it to read like a year not a number in the thousands or are both correct. Sorry for the ignorance. I’m 60 years young ok old then and running out of brain cells but I’m still learning, thankyou for your time and effort hope to hear from you thanks Kevin
romanenthusiast, I think what moshiri is trying to say is that the number zero enabled the current numbering system to be established. as clever as the romans were they had no numeral for 0 which meant their numbering system was cumbersome to say the least.
Since its development zero has been fundamental in Descartes Cartesian coordinate system and in Newtons developments of calculus. Without calculus we wouldn’t have modern physics, engineering or computers.
So nihil just didn’t cut it. I’m afraid.
But going to the origin Im not quiet sure it was completely a Persian invention. I think the eastern Asians and Indians also had similar placeholder shapes, but the origin did come from a Persian mathematician (name slips my mind( if someone does google it and it says arab please do not mix arab and Persian. The guy was Persian but as all mathematicians and scientist of the time from that period (around 8th century AD approx.) they all had to have arab names or their works wouldn’t be published, or they wouldn’t have got funded.
@Amin The first recorded use of zero was in 36bc in a Mayan script to mark events in astronomy.
This helped me so much thank you for all of your work.
