G5052 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 OK, my oldest surprised me. He says that he's going to miss Latin, and would take some more after AP Latin. He'll still have another year of high school, and we don't have a college with a classics department nearby. I do have access to a Latin tutor who could do it, but he'd like a class. This probably means an online class. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 We did a final year at home using the former AP Latin Literature materials after dd finished AP Latin. Scholars Online offers a Latin 5 class doing just that, studying Catullus and Horace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 There's lots of options, but one out-of-the box idea: would he consider ancient greek? It's got some of the grammatical features of Latin, and is a good complement, and would look outstanding on a college application (IMHO).

terricu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Definitely check out The Lukeion Project Latin. Ds is in AP Latin IV this year wirth Mrs. Barr and took Latin III with her last year after a few years in Memoria press Latin. Ds is taking Latin II with Mrs. Barr this year. She is a wonderful teacher and does have a Latin V class. Both of my kids love her classes - even my previously Latin-phobic ds. Very organized, humorous, and always challenges the students. Her students' National Latin Exam grades are stellar. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 FWIW -- Scholars Online only does Latin V for students who have taken from them before. Lukeion does not have a Latin V class on the schedule. They have only Latin IV (AP Latin). I do know a Latin tutor who will do it, or Veritas offers a "Christian Authors" class that we might work. Still looking though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
