Students have the opportunity to enroll in AP Latin in their fourth year of study. AP Latin is equivalent to a fourth or fifth semester college Latin course.
The AP Latin curriculum engages with authenticate Latin texts, consisting primarily of readings from Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars and Vergil's epic poetry, the Aeneid.
The Aeneid depicts the epic story of how a few Trojan refugees, under the leadership of the legendary Aeneas, leave the smoking ruins of Troy and set out on an epic voyage to found a new Trajan nation in Italy.
The Gallic Wars give a first person account of Julius Caesar’s famous conquest of Gaul, as he overcomes tribe after tribe and strengthens his military machine.
