The Student Body
Every student here chose Latin deliberately, usually on top of an already demanding course load at a competitive school. Nobody ends up in this classroom by accident or by default.
Geography and school type have little to do with it. The real common thread is a particular willingness: to sit with a difficult sentence until it actually yields, rather than approximate an answer and move on. Some come because they met Rome secondhand, in translation or in a myth, and wanted the real thing. Some come with a competitive streak, looking for the hardest test available. Some come, or their parents do, simply because they have noticed that Latin builds a kind of patience and precision that nothing else quite does.
Geographically, the classroom looks like the world looks. Students join from Seoul to New York City: from international schools across Asia, from boarding and independent schools across the American East Coast, and from cities like Singapore, Dubai, and London. A student in Seoul and a student in New York City read the same passage, held to the same standard, in the same session. Latin does not check passports.
Ages run from ten to eighteen, and the formation is genuinely long-term for some: a student who begins in upper elementary sometimes stays all the way through the AP Latin examination and into Advanced Latin Literature, winning top prizes at the most prestigious international contests, at the most advanced level offered.
What follows is a partial record: the schools our students have come from, and the universities to which they have since been admitted. None of these lists is complete, and none is offered as a promise. Students come here to learn Latin properly, and the schools and the admissions results follow from that, not the other way around.
