Students participate in foreign language competitions when available, take the National Latin Exam, and create a Roman environment for their schools during foreign language week. Students use Latin daily when encountering new vocabulary. The grammar skills acquired in Latin continue to be of use in the building of English skills as well as learning a second foreign language. Students who elect to study a modern language have more time to concentrate on their oral skills since they have learned the grammatical differences that English has with so many modern languages. 5.2 Students show evidence of becoming lifelong learners by using the language for personal enjoyment and enrichment.
Students see Roman influences in art and architecture, literary themes, operas.
Those who have the opportunities later in life will see Roman evidence throughout Europe. Students understand that diversity in culture does not make one more correct than the other. Rather they see how one influences and makes richer ones life today.
