[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac. The kids often win national contests, and some do a semester abroad in Italy junior year [/quote]

You know that people don't speak Latin in Italy, right?[/quote]
Thanks I do know that. It’s a well respected national study brought program that allows the kids to spend a semester delving into classics and focus on art history. The kids I know who have participated in the program come back raving about it, and a few have gone on to major in classics at excellent school. It’s just a nice option bc the other top privates we looked at did not offer any trip or study abroad options for Latin. 
Potomac does very well in the VA and national exams. You can also do a second language at the same time. One plus for us was that they have several Latin teachers, so you don’t run the risk of an entire program riding on the back of one teacher. Their IS (7th/8th grade) Latin program is excellent, so kids enter hs at a nice level, opening up many electives beginning in 10th & 11th. [/quote]
