Placement Process One critical factor for restful learning is the proper placement of students. If you are unsure which level is the best fit for your student, reach out to the instructor you are considering. Once registered, anticipate contact regarding placement evaluations from instructors by May 15th and throughout the summer. Students must be enrolled to enter the placement process. Early placement exams may allow time for tutoring or additional review based on the outcomes. See more about placement evaluations in our Student-Parent Handbook.
Latin Placement Process For registered students, please anticipate contact regarding placement evaluations from instructors by May 15th and throughout the summer. Students must be enrolled in a Latin course to receive a placement assessment. Latin classes have a detailed and specific placement process. Learn more about the Latin placement process here.
This course offers instruction on an advanced Latin topic: Aeneas and Dido. It will include the reading of selections from two authors including the entirety of book 4 of Vergil’s Aeneid and epistle 7 of Ovid’s Heroides. This course requires students to have a good foundation in Latin grammar (Latin 1, 2, and 3) and to be comfortable reading Latin texts. It is designed for students who have successfully completed Scholé Academy’s _Intermediate Latin _(Latin 4) course, with the Latin Alive! Reader, or an equivalent course of study. Students taking this course must be self-motivated in study and proactive at identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Previous grammatical and vocabulary material will NOT be systematically reviewed, since that is the purpose of an Intermediate Latin (Latin 4) class. However, the teacher will actively be engaging the students and helping them to identify areas of improvement.

Edward Kotynski, Chair of Latin Department, grew up as a missionary kid in Indonesia, where his parents were Bible translators. He attributes his love of languages partly to his parents’ work and his childhood experience. He received his BA in ancient languages from Wheaton College in Illinois in 2004, and his MA in classical languages from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee in 2007. Mr. Kotynski has been teaching Latin and Greek for the last fifteen years, mostly at classical Christian schools. He loves sharing his passion for the ancient languages with his students, weaving in historical context and modern connections. He has edited two volumes of Latin Alive! for Classical Academic Press and has also been working on their Greek for Children series with Erin Valdez. He is very excited to be continuing with Scholé Academy this year. Besides Latin and Greek, Mr. Kotynski drinks coffee, loves reading, helps homeschool his kids, and plays board games. He lives with his wife, six children, and two cats, enjoying the craziness of life together.
