Hello,
I teach Latin and math to homeschoolers -- locally in Fort Collins, Colorado, and online nationwide via WebEx. I'm sending you this message in case your group members would be interested in our online program; it's a great opportunity, especially for 8th-12th graders! Please forward to your homeschool group, if you wish.
Registration is now open for 2008-2009 COURSES: Latin 100 (first-year high school Latin course for grades 8-12), Latin 200 (second-year high school course), and STELLAE (an introductory Latin class for grades 3-7) will be offered. The Latin program is a full 4-year program (Latin 100, 200, 300, 400) using Orberg's Lingua Latina for the first two years (students love the book!). Online high school Latin classes meet twice weekly for a live, interactive (video & audio) session. Students may also attend a live online "help session" once a week (optional), and ask questions via email at any time. STELLAE meets once/week for one hour; STELLAE students are welcome to drop in to the help session if they have questions.
Here is the web page for my program: http://www.lonepineclassical.com/online_index.asp
It is a solid, well-tested, and affordable program.
Latin offers the students not only improvement in (English!) vocabulary, grammar, and thinking skills, -- and a great advantage in learning French, Spanish, or Italian (my 3rd-year students can read basic stories in all 3 languages) -- but also the opportunity for high-schoolers to take the annual National Latin Exam (and win an award!), earn scholarships, join the National and Colorado Junior Classical Leagues (no matter where you live), and join the National Latin Honor Society (if they maintain an A -- great for college applications!). This year, for the second year in a row, ALL of my students won National Latin Exam awards!
High-school students may also attend the state convention for CoJCL (Colorado Junior Classical League) with us in late April -- students have a great time and earn many awards! Online students are very welcome to attend the Colorado convention with us, if traveling to Colorado in late April fits into your plans. (The mountains are beautiful this time of year! :)
STELLAE students (grades 3-7) can take the national Exploratory Latin Exam (optional 3-week winter session) and win awards.
Latin is a tremendous resume / college-application builder for your students! I try to offer the students as many resume-builders as possible. I taught high-school before having children, and was trained to help high-schoolers build "glowing" college applications; I'm doing my best for these students! :)
Thank you very much for your time! Please do spread the word, and email me with questions!
I will keep your email address on my list for next year's announcements, unless you wish otherwise.
(I only send two announcements per year to the email list -- around April 15th and July 15th.)
Thank you,
Karen Karppinen
