Meet Our Latin Learners

Latin is fortunate to have an amazingly diverse community, however, our students share many enviable traits. They are independent thinkers, empathetic listeners, confident self-advocates and engaged participants. Surrounded by teachers who know them as individuals and as learners, they leave Latin with a life-long love of learning and a passion to make their mark on the world.
