Time Change and Savings: High School Latin

High School Latin will be offered in the evenings next school year (scroll down for details). We have had a number of requests for evening courses, particularly from our oversees students. While this change was due to an unforeseen change in the instructor's schedule we hope (and pray) that it will be a positive change that is helpful to many students.

Additionally, this course will continue at the early enrollment price. Only $175 per semester for Latin I and II and $185 for Latin III/IV. This is a fantastic price, especially for such a fantastic program!

As always, please email us or leave a comment below if you have any questions or comments.
