"
I have been using the
Latin in the Christian Trivium Vol I and II successfully for two years.
Each lesson is presented carefully and logically so that my high
school students are able to build their Latin skills each day. I
highly recommend this series." -Jeanette Anderson,
Teacher at Valley Christian
School, San Jose, California
"We
are LOVING your program. I am using it for all four of my
children from 5th grade to 9th grade...My 9th graders says that
Latin is his favorite class... the ease of use for those of us
who don't know Latin ourselves, the lesson plans at the
beginning of each chapter, the story line for reading, and the
readings from the Vulgate. Your program is a
gem.
- Mary Abbott, Kentucky
"Gail Busby's and Mary Harrington's
Latin In The
Christian Trivium is the best Latin language course on the
market. I am the best person perhaps to make this claim:
I am the quintessential harassed homeschool parent who
knew virtually nothing about Latin. I observed firsthand
my son as he learned Latin and English grammar. It was
both to my joy, and at times, to my relief, that it was my
privilege to oversee this prodigious undertaking with a modicum
of effort (on my part!). Mrs. Busby and Mrs.
Harrington made me a first rate Latin teacher and my son a
sterling Latin student."
- Dr. James
Stobaugh,
author of "2005
SAT Preparation Course for the Christian Student
".
I feel like a broken
record sometimes here, but I'll recommend it again:
We love, love, love Latin in the Christian Trivium.
It is a very user-friendly program, the teacher manual is
great, there is free online help available if you get stuck, the
program is well-organized. It
involves reading stories (mostly Bible stories in Latin) right
from the start, teaching the reading right along with the
necessary grammar and memorization.
There is a fictional family that you meet in the
storyline, that begins in Rome and goes to Israel and encounters
the Savior there. My
kids have great Latin notebooks, boxes of vocabulary that they
have learned well. They
took the National Latin Exam this year and did very, very well.
We feel the program has exceeded our expectations, and
our oldest has had
so much fun he is considering majoring in Latin.
I was somewhat familiar with Latin when we began, but I
had forgotten a lot. I
feel a "new to Latin" teacher could do very well with
the teacher's manual, there is a lot of explanation and lesson
plans built right in and games.
There are student activity books, audio CD's, as well as
the student texts and the teacher's manual.
We have been very pleased.

Jesse loves
your Latin textbooks. He is now down to the last semester
of Latin IV. Although he flew through books I and II on
his own, your online classes have been theperfect solution to
help him work through the harder details of the last two
books in your excellent series. thank you so much for
writing this textbook series and for all the help and
encouragement you have given us over the years. Karla

"I would never have predicted my student would enjoy
Latin! Using Latin in the Christian Trivium,
well organized, easy to use Latin lessons come alive with Roman
history. A must for the classical curriculum."
-Cali S. Bottom,
homeschooling mom, CA
"Five stars! I am a thirteen year old home educated student
in Modesto, California. I started using Latin in the Christian
Trivium three years ago. It is easy to understand, well worded,
and sequential. It starts with the basics of Latin grammar and
builds, creating a learning experience that doesn't skip around
like some textbooks. On a scale of 1 to 10, ten being the best,
this book rates a 12!"
-Stuart S. Bottom, student, CA
"Latin in the Christian Trivium was the solution to my problem of
not already knowing Latin prior to teaching my children. The course
included all of the needed information, exercises, drills, tests,
and answers that we needed to reach mastery. Latin Bible verses,
Roman history and culture, and a story line based on early Christians
in Rome made the learning enjoyable. Best of all, the authors provided
cheerful and encouraging support through e-mail and an on-line discussion
forum. Deum laudo Year One is almost finished!"
-Glenda McCoy, MO
"I just want to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed using Latin in the Christian
Trivium. It is so logically and systematically put together that anyone
without Latin experience can use it. I particularly appreciate the lesson
plans in the teacher's edition. It makes scheduling so easy. I also like
the fact that the program is self teaching, so that if I get busy with something
else, I can give the kids the book and put them on 'auto pilot'. The explanations
are so easily understood and the plentiful exercises, study sheets, and drill
sheets cement the concepts into the student's mind well. I have looked at several
Latin programs, and I have to say, I haven't seen any I like as well as LitCT.
Thanks so much for writing it!"
-Virginia Reddick, Ohio
