Montgomery Bell Academy: Latin I Introduction

This two-week Latin introduction at Montgomery Bell Academy gives rising 8th and 9th graders a structured start on a language that underpins much of English vocabulary and grammar. The course covers Latin syntax, grammar, and vocabulary — the essentials you'd need before tackling a full-year Latin class in high school. A nice side benefit is that students often come away with sharper English skills too, since Latin study forces you to pay attention to how sentences are actually built. Classes run mornings from 8:00 to 10:00, which keeps the rest of the day free. At $300 total for two weeks of focused instruction, it's a reasonable investment, especially for a student heading into a school that offers Latin or who wants an edge in standardized test vocabulary. MBA runs two separate sessions between June 1 and July 24, so there's some scheduling flexibility.
