If you have ever wanted to learn Latin, or to improve your already-existing abilities with the language, we have lots of options for you in 2023! We have set the calendar for our Latin Courses in 2023. This includes three Foundations Elementary courses (comprising a total of 36 weeks), which teach the basics and three Selected Readings courses, which comprise a variety of selections in prose and poetry, Scholastic writings, and the Moral Epistles of Seneca the Younger. Our wide range of Latin offerings enables students to grow in understanding and confidence of the language.
| Course | Dates | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary Latin I | 10 January – April 18 (Tuesdays) | 6:00–7:00pm ET (New York) |
| Elementary Latin II | 10 January – April 18 (Tuesdays) | 7:30–8:30pm ET |
| Elementary Latin III | 9 May – July 25 (Tuesdays) | 7:30–8:30pm ET |
| Seneca’s Epistles | 13 April – June 22 (Thursdays) | 6:00–7:00pm ET |
| Scholastic Latin | 29 August – November 21 (Tuesdays) | 10:30–11:30am ET |
| Prose & Poetry | 14 September – November 16 (Thursdays) | 6:00–7:00pm ET |
All of our class sessions are recorded, so if a student must miss a session or two, they can still review the material. However, because language requires practice, attendance at classes is required. This policy also helps students keep pace with one another and builds community among participants.
Participation in all three Elementary courses and in Scholastic Latin is included at every level of enrollment, while a nominal fee is required for Seneca’s Epistles and Prose & Poetry. Elementary courses are offered annually, and can be re-taken as often as desired. One cannot enroll for these courses without being a member of the Lyceum Institute.
