Latin II

In this second year course, students will continue their studies in the Latin language. Building upon the fundamental grammar and vocabulary introduced in each student's previous Latin course, Latin II introduces students to more advanced concepts and language. Students will focus on learning complex constructions, such as the relative clause, the subjunctive mood, and participles. Students also will continue to learn about connections between Latin and Modern English. Students will experience the Roman world and its culture through the continuing story about a Roman girl and her family. All these concepts will be applied in the students own work, whether it be in their writing, listening, and speaking.

Important Note: For several years, VCHS has only offered two levels of Latin in a given year, with a maximum of three years of Latin available over a four-year period.  In the 2025-26 school year, VCHS offered Latin I and Latin III (H); accordingly, in the 2026-27 school year we will offer Latin I again (for first-time students of the language) as well as Latin II. This means that in the 2027-28 school year, we plan to offer Latin I, Latin II, and Latin III (H).
