- Latin has implemented a breakthrough program for identifying and working with younger children who show signs of reading difficulties.
- Latin's interdisciplinary Humanities curriculum is looked to as a model by
other schools nationwide.
- Latin's groundbreaking Upper School Nazi Mind history class, which celebrated
its 25th year in 2004, and the 2nd grade Ellis Island project, are distinctive
learning experiences where students don't just "take a class, they live
it."
- Latin's service learning and tropical conservation programs provide first-hand understanding of the challenges other people and our planet face.
- Most Latin students do college-level work while still in high school and
perform well on a wide range of Advanced Placement exams.
To ensure the school's leadership position in academics, The Campaign for Latin will enable us to:
- Purchase dedicated science equipment to support Latin's distinctive programs
in astronomy, animal behavior, and independent research, adding two state-of-the-art
science laboratories for the Upper School and three dedicated science laboratories
in the new Middle School.
- Launch the Latin Initiative for Ethics, a program which brings an ongoing discussion of contemporary ethical issues to Latin.
- Expand the summer curriculum grant program, through which teachers expand
and develop new curricula.
- The addition of a dedicated Middle School building will expand the physical
space per Latin student by 40% and improve academic programming across
the board at The Latin School.
- Provide seed money for other new academic programs, when opportunities arise.
