Classical Languages

All students are required to study two years of classical Latin at Saint Peter's; the third and
fourth years of study are offered as electives. The Latin program approaches the language
through analysis of grammar, linguistics, and Roman culture and civilization in general. The
grammatical deconstruction of Latin and the inevitable gains in knowledge of English grammar
are vital to the program. For those students demonstrating mastery of and interest in Latin,
Homeric Greek is offered as an honors- level elective for seniors. The Greek program is
designed to develop reading skills and cultural literacy.
