It requires a great deal of analytical and systematic thinking, and builds those functional, critical thinking skills that are readily transferable to other disciplines.  \n• Studying Latin usually makes students more proficient in English and helps them become better writers.  \n• Vocabulary, vocabulary, vocabulary!!!  \n• Latin is extremely valuable in the study of other languages, particularly the Romance languages—Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and Romanian.  \n• Learning about classical civilization helps students develop a better understanding of government and a deepened sense of civic responsibility.  \n• Learning about classical civilization helps students both to understand the roots of Western Civilization and to respect diversity in others.  \n• Learn about mythology, important figures in history, and geographical references to help with present and future studies in history and literature! The lyric poetry of Herrick, Keats, and Shelley would be nowhere without the old Romans like Catullus and Horace. Thestudy of Latin will enhance the enjoyment of classic authors such as Homer, Chaucer, and Shakespeare or modern authors such as Rick Riordan (The Percy Jackson series), Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games), and, of course, J.K. Rowling.  \n• The benefits of Latin in preparing students for a future in law, medicine, science, writing, teaching, business, banking, politics, international relations, and a host of others are well documented, but did you know that employers in Silicon Valley, who must train theiremployees on the job, are now looking for college graduates who have proved their worth in school with a Classical education?  \n• LATIN IS FUN!!!  \nLATIN AND THE SAT  \nDoes Latin help your SAT scores? The answer is once again a definitive YES! The scores of students who took the SAT II in various languages are listed below so that the correlation between language studied and reading and writing scores may be seen.

Data for the GRE taken by college seniors intending to attend graduate school show that Classical Language majors had the highest mean score on the verbal section of the GRE of the approximately 300 majors listed! They had the third highest mean score on the analytical writing section, and scored higher than any other language on the quantitative section!  \nAll students: 501 492  \nRecent Walton Latin Accomplishments:  \n• Walton has won the state championship at the Georgia Junior Classical League Convention 7 years in a row and 14 of the last 15.  \n• Walton Latin students are chosen every year to participate in the Governor’s Honors Program as Latin Majors.  \n• Walton students win an amazing number of awards at Georgia Junior Classical League and National Junior Classical League Conventions.
