Latin I: 8

Current CDA students take Latin I in 7th and 8th grade for which they receive high school credit.

Latin I is a HS graduation requirement for Coram Deo Academy. Students new to CDA in HS are able to complete this HS requirement as a Friday elective.
Latin IA: 7

The study of a foreign language beyond the very basic stages should lead the student to understand and appreciate the God-given gift of communication through the written and spoken word. In Latin 1, we actively use vocabulary and grammar (both previously learned and new) to read and translate sentences with subordinate clauses in short stories.

Since Latin is an inflected language, when we work through selections while scrutinizing the smallest details, we simultaneously train our minds: not only to translate sentences, but also to recognize and use patterns, to think logically, to persevere when things are difficult, and to rejoice in the small translation victories. We also begin to see things from an ancient perspective and realize that, though man has made many technological advances, his heart is the same now as it was in ancient Rome.
Latin/Grammar: 5

The study of language should lead the student to know and appreciate the orderliness of God through the written and spoken word. In fifth-grade Latin, we build on the twin pillars of vocabulary and grammar, focusing primarily on nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

Because Latin is an inflected language, words are made up of stems and endings which are regular and predictable. By studying the structure of Latin, students understand more about grammatical structures in English. As Eudora Welty states in One Writer’s Beginnings: “"It took Latin to thrust me into bona fide alliance with words in their true meaning. Learning Latin...fed my love for words upon words, words in continuation and modification, and the beautiful accretion of a sentence....” (p. 31). Logic-level Latin introduces students to the wonders of words!
