Perry Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I want dd to take online Latin classes beginning next year, for 8th grade, and to continue through 4 years of HS. We did Latin for Children A,B, and part of C, but it's been a couple years and I don't think she remembers all that much. What are our options? I know about the Memoria Press courses, but what else is available? Secular is preferable, but not absolutely required. I can't help her much, so it needs to be something that does not need much parental involvement. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 K12 offers Latin 1 and 2 for high school and for middle school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Cambridge offers online courses - I haven't used them though. I think that Peela might have done for a while. Look for the 'Independent Learners' section. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie in OR Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Memoria Press offers several. (Oops...should have read your full email first :) Edited April 13, 2010 by Debbie in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbielong Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 We did The Potter's School this year. Fantastic! But, not secular. http://www.pottersschool.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa B Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've heard good things about Lone Pine Classical. http://www.lonepineclassical.com/online_policies.asp Oak Meadow also offers online classes at the high school level and they have Latin (3 years I believe.)

MomOfOneFunOne Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Second Lonepine Classical (see my sig line). She uses Orberg's Lingua Latina, loads of exercitia, read skits and text in class, study for the NLE, and if they're old enough, get to go to convention. It is a lot of work and is challenging but well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Are there any samples of how the Lonepine Classical classes work that a prospective parent or student can watch online? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomOfOneFunOne Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Well, there are classes that we can watch if we miss class or want to review so I imagine so. I'll ask her and post here. Or you could just ask her. You'll find her very helpful. I emailed her and will let you know.

Peela Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cambridge offers online courses - I haven't used them though. I think that Peela might have done for a while. Look for the 'Independent Learners' section. Laura Yes, and Cambridge is secular. Dd did their 3rd book with them. My experience was that one would still need to be self motivated and probably supervised well by a parent. They don't hold you hand very much or give a lot of feedback...they mark the work, and you can ask questions. I really like Cambridge though- the stories are interesting and there is a lot of cultural knowledge in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I created a spreadsheet a few years ago with all the online Latin classes I could fine, including text, cost, dates/times. It's probably out of date now, but if you would like it, email me. There are about a dozen options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomOfOneFunOne Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Welll, for what it's worth, Karen at Lonepine said if you email her she'll send you a link to watch a class recording. However, she also said that the waiting list for Latin 100 is at 16 and counting (but that a lot can happen b/t now and then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways I hesitate to ask (as my son is still too young) but we've been playing with Lingua Latina and I'd love to see what the options are coming down the pike. I could use a little help too. Does the "audit" option mean you can watch the classes but don't participate in the classes, or that one just doesn't get an official credit? Or do you know?

LilyJane6 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 http://www.Latintutor.net has personalized online Latin classes, and they use a variety of materials, so the classes can meet your kids exactly where they are and not spend time going over stuff they already know from doing Latin earlier. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmom Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 We're happy with Artesian Well's online Latin! They use Wheelock's and they offer optional National Latin Exam study sessions at no additional charge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
