AP Latin

AP Latin is equivalent to an intermediate college-level Latin course focusing on the in-depth study of selections from two influential works of Latin literature, Vergil’s Aeneid and Pliny the Younger’s Letters. Significant time is also dedicated to the reading of nonsyllabus texts chosen by teachers, as well as four course project passages. Students will also place these texts in a meaningful context, which will help students develop their critical, historical, and literary sensitivities. Throughout the course, students will consider the main ideas, effects or purposes, and points of view expressed in these works to gain a deeper understanding of the content and culture in which they were created.
