Congratulations to the winners of the National Latin Exam! The philosophy of the National Latin Exam (NLE) is predicated on providing every Latin student the opportunity to experience a sense of personal accomplishment and success in his or her study of the Latin language and culture. The basic purposes of the NLE are to promote the study of Latin and to encourage the individual student.

“We are incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding performance on the National Latin Exam," said Upper School Latin Teacher Lindsey Stamer. "Their hard work, curiosity, and commitment to excellence truly paid off. These awards are not just a recognition of their knowledge, but of their perseverance and passion for learning. I know that Classics Department Chair Adam Leven also agrees that watching them achieve at such a high level on a national stage is both inspiring and deeply rewarding as their teacher.”
