OUR METHOD

CLASSICAL

The intensive study of Latin in the grammar school years develops the minds of students as no other subject can. Students who have learned how to learn with our Latin curriculum become better students in all other subjects.

CHRISTIAN

Highlands Latin teaches and upholds traditional Christian morality, and the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired word of God. Highlands Latin warmly welcomes families of other faiths, but we ask that you respect our distinctive Christian identity.

TRADITIONAL

In our traditional classrooms, a knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject. Classrooms are quiet, orderly, and disciplined with incremental, age-appropriate, and skill developing work.
