Non Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus
We learn not for school, but for life!

Why study Latin?

“With regards to what Latin has done for me, I think it has given me one of the most valuable tools I could have asked for – the ability to think analytically. Latin is a systematic language with logical rules and very few exceptions, making every sentence a logical analysis. Using that type of analysis repetitively gives you great tools for analysis in every other subject or aspect of your life, in my opinion. This has helped me with argumentation, logic, debating, college essay writing, critical thinking, reading, philosophy, and the LSAT. The tools and practices you pick up in Latin aren’t always the most readily apparent, but you realize quickly in real life how applicable the practices you learn in Latin are. Hope you pass this along and it encourages some students to take Latin!”
