Ninth Grade

Students can take Henle Latin I or II Latin if ready, but students with no Latin should take Henle Latin I: Units 1-5 or continue with whatever course builds on the Latin taken previously. Conversely, students who have completed Latin may wish to take a Greek course.

Students unfamiliar with the Classical Composition method should take High School Composition I or Fable and Narrative. Alternatively, another composition course may also be suitable. View all of our composition offering here.
