At Latin, every child is known as an individual and a learner. Small class sizes and a student-centered approach allow teachers to understand the way each child learns best and how he or she can reach individualized measures of success. Latin's staff of counselors and learning resources specialists make our support of each student comprehensive, giving kids the energy and confidence needed to actively engage in learning.
