Salve!
Welcome to the first year of
Latin and Classical Humanities:
Middle School Academy
The Academy offers students (grades 5 through 9) and enriching and challenging curriculum in the foundations of the Latin language, the culture of Republican and Imperial Rome, and the legacy of the classical tradition in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. The approach is eclectic, with reference to both the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and the contemporary practice of the Christian liberal arts tradition.
Motivated and dedicated students of all academic talents and language abilities will find a home in the Academy. The approach is both rigorous and youth-friendly. Students with Individualized Education Profiles are particularly encouraged to participate.
We hope that you will consider joining us!
