Winter Intensive: Grammar Latin—The Uncompromising Path to Mastery

Grammar Latin began its journey this fall, guiding students along the path that has consistently produced fluent readers of Latin for centuries: the grammar-translation method. If you missed our initial enrollment or find yourself struggling with more recent approaches, this Winter Intensive offers your chance to catch up, build an unshakeable foundation, and prepare to excel at the highest levels of competition.

Why This Intensive Is Essential

The curricular shift across the US, UK, and parts of Western Europe toward "natural methods" of learning Latin often leaves students without the structural precision this language demands. While immersive methods work beautifully for living languages, Latin has no native speakers and requires precise understanding of structure rather than "close enough" guesswork.

This two-week intensive course provides the fastest and most effective route to gaining the foundation necessary for official examinations and high-level competition.

Accelerated Catch-Up & Competitive Edge

Join the Winter Intensive and you'll be ready to compete for gold medals and summa cum laude honors in international contests in Latin and the classical humanities this spring. Our method creates confident analysts prepared for the most demanding texts. We embrace the analytical power of your mind, allowing you to master essential foundations efficiently. Students who study Grammar Latin have historically won more summa cum laude honors and gold medals in international contests than those using other methods. You'll arrive at competitions not as a tentative beginner, but as a confident analyst.
Unshakeable Foundation for Official Exams
This accelerated program offers the most effective preparation for official examinations, including the IGCSE, IB, A Level, and AP Latin.
Instead of hoping you'll absorb Latin through osmosis, we teach you to dissect it systematically and logically. The methodology employed here is the same one that produced every great Latinist of the past four centuries—the method used by John Stuart Mill and Thomas Jefferson. You will be prepared not just for AP Latin, but for the genuine intellectual adventure of reading Augustine and Erasmus.
Real Latin, Real Mastery
We provide intellectual respect by having you encounter authentic Latin from day one—not sanitized or artificially constructed sentences, but actual prose crafted by Cicero, Caesar, Virgil, and medieval masters. You will learn that language isn't arbitrary, but a logical system to be understood. This program creates confident problem-solvers who grasp that complexity is simply order that hasn't been properly explained yet.
