Mentis Praestantia: The 2026 NLVE Results

(Mentis Praestantia: Excellence of the Mind)

The results of the 2025-2026 National Latin Vocabulary Exam have been released, and it is a settled matter of fact that the students of Emerson Latin have distinguished themselves through disciplined study and a precise command of the language.

While the intrinsic value of Latin lies in the cultivation of the individual mind, these external benchmarks offer a moment to recognize those who have met the standard of excellence with particular resolve. We acknowledge their achievements not as an end, but as a natural consequence of their ongoing formation.
