Opening in September, 2009, The Washington Latin School will offer an exceptional classical education in the liberal arts and sciences to students in grades five through eight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now accepting applications for seats in grades 5-6, as well as applications for spaces in small-group tutorials for students who will fall outside of the five through eight grade range in 2009-2010. There are also opportunities for families to host students from other parts of the United States or from abroad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The School seeks to revitalize an educational regimen that, for hundreds of years, was nearly universally accepted as the foundation of learning itself in the western tradition. Only in the last century, with the wave of new media that has bombarded our children with the constant temptation of instant gratification, has the study of classical antiquity waned in the United States. To counter this trend, the School, in all that it does, seeks vigorously to support the study of the Classics and to reassert that a thorough understanding of the Greek and Roman civilization is the basis of formal education. Even our comprehensive program in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will emphasize the classical basis and moral consequences of modern science and technology.
