Through the study of Latin, students learn the structures of language as well as the roots of much of our legal and medical terminology. Because close to 80% of English words of three syllables or more come from Latin, learning Latin can significantly increase a student’s vocabulary. In translating ancient authors, students acquire a background knowledge of ancient history, language and literature, as well as philosophy, mythology and cultural studies.
