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.”

“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!”
