Becoming an integrative and informed learner Students also benefit from the study of Roman culture. Latin students learn more about their legislative, judicial, and executive systems by examining their Roman predecessors. The works of Roman philosophers and writers, such as Cicero, Ovid, and Seneca, challenge the minds and opinions of our students. In addition, students explore the fascinating architectures of Roman aqueducts and of the Pantheon, as well as the rich literature of Roman warfare and Roman mythology. Finally, students benefit from Latin by improving their problem-solving skills.
Latin translation consists of pure analysis.
By closely examining word endings, students learn to sharpen their reasoning in order to balance Latin sentences so that they are linguistically correct. Latin students learn to think like Latin scholars and develop focused, organized, logical habits which later transfer to their work in other content areas.
