Latin continually redefines excellence in liberal arts education for a changing world. Our vision challenges us to make learning even more personal, inquiry-based and inclusive for every member of the Latin community — all Latin Learners.

We LEAD in educational excellence.

Learn. Engage. Advance. Develop. To achieve our vision for educational excellence, our strategy is to LEAD by creating an inclusive, equitable and healthy culture for challenging and engaging learning.
