National Cathedral School announces a search for a long-term substitute Latin teacher in the Upper School to teach three classes at the introductory and intermediate levels. The one-semester position begins in August 2018. Qualified candidates have a strong background in Classical Studies, with emphasis on the study of the Latin language and teaching experience at the high school level.
The primary goal of the Latin program is to introduce students to the fundamentals of Latin vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, while fostering the skills required for foreign language study. Students explore all aspects of the Roman world to gain an appreciation of the influence of Roman culture and civilization.
