AP Latin

By studying Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War and Vergil's Aeneid, Advanced Placement Latin students are expected to translate accurately from Latin into English the poetry or prose they are reading and to demonstrate a grasp of the grammatical structures and vocabulary. Since the appreciation of Latin literature requires an understanding of the literary techniques of Latin writers and of poetic meters where appropriate, stylistic analysis is an integral part of the advanced work in this course. AP Latin also includes a study of the cultural, social and political context of the literature. See Guidelines for Placement of Students in Honors/AP/Dual Enrolled Classes.
