Latin V at Great Hearts Online is the culminating experience of a student’s introduction to the Latin language, not to
mention the literature and culture of those who wrote and spoke it. Students will be introduced to all the essentials of

participles, conditions and cum clauses. Moreover, the acquisition of Latin words will let them expand their English

reading assigned passages for homework. Through the reading of thought-provoking texts, students will engage in

wisdom and generosity.
