Latin students in 7th and 8th grade took the National Latin Exam in early March. According to the NLE syllabus, the exam provides “an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge of Latin and the Roman world on a test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions. The exam focuses on the student’s ability to read and comprehend Latin as outlined in the American Classical League’s Standards for Classical Languages.” Learn more about the exam here.
Middle School Latin Teacher Natalie Griffin loves seeing the hard work of her students pay off. “Congratulations to all of my students for their diligent preparation for the National Latin Exam and their stellar scores!” she says.
