EDUCATION GUIDE “I originally picked Latin as my foreign language class in fifth grade because I thought it would help my vocabulary, and I thought I would have the most fun. I also thought it was relatively unique and original. I didn’t know it then, but this was probably the most important and best decision I made while in Lower School. Seven years later, I realize that taking Latin has had a major effect on my life, taking me all the way to the Georgia Governors Honors Program in the summer of 2012, four Junior Classical League conventions and a national convention. It has also given me many of my best friends and relationships. I plan to take Latin in college because of the incredible effect it has had on my life, and I truly enjoy everything about the subject and culture. Taking the language has definitely improved my vocabulary and made me a more articulate person. I know that for many people taking a foreign language is just another class in high school, but for me, my decision changed my life.” Jaclyn Lund, Pace Academy “I take Latin. I chose Latin because I thought it was similar to Greek, because I already speak Greek fluently. I thought it would help me with reading and understanding words.” George Gacalao Mt. Vernon Preobyterian School “I study French, because its unique in that it’s not very common in America, but it’s available in a lot of other countries. I think it will help me in a possible job later on, and in meeting new people and being able to communicate.” John RhodeJ, The Weotmuuter School) “I study Spanish because I want to be able to communicate in the business world and on the streets. As America - and Atlanta specifically -- becomes more bilingual, it will be crucial for everyone to speak the same languages. Also, the Hispanic culture is fascinating to learn about and expose myself to, and I can’t wait to travel and study in Spain and South America!” /Margaret Langford, Atlanta Girlo ’ School PK-12 College Park PK-6 Johns Creek 404.765.4001 woodward.edu At Woodward, your student reaches for every new challenge with wise, individual guidance at each step.
