Mother of Divine Grace School uses the Beginning Latin and Fundamentals of Latin Grammar series to teach Latin to younger students. These books were written by Margaret Hayden, a Latin teacher with over 20 years of experience. Margaret has many years of experience teaching Latin. Her program is unique because it is rules based. From the beginning, it presents the basic rules and patterns that underlie all of Latin grammar in a simple and straightforward manner. The Beginning Latin series does this principally through observation and memorization, while the Fundamentals of Latin Grammar series adds analysis, in keeping with the method of classical learning according to the stages of formation. We have found that the students who come out of this program are uniquely prepared for further Latin study, having performed excellently in Henle Latin and MODG's Advanced Latin program. These students understand how Latin works as a language and are able to tackle difficult translations by breaking them down into the constituent parts and applying their universal rules. We are so pleased to be able to present a program that lays an excellent foundation for later analysis and a deeper understanding of the concepts, while still attaining a firm grasp of the concepts in the short term.
