Looking for ALI’s Latin for Kids programs?
We run three separate Latin tracks for younger students: for elementary, middle, and high school students. Perfect for homeschool families, “flex” classical schools, and anyone looking for tutoring or enrichment for their young student.
It’s time for Latin Camp. The Ancient Language Institute is moving from the internet to the physical world, in partnership with New Aberdeen College. Come join us in July 2026, for a 5-day Latin Immersion Camp, led by some of ALI’s great Latin teachers.
Latin Immersion Camp is designed for Latin students of all experience and ability levels who want to improve their Latin reading and speaking ability.
Of all the challenges of a seminary Ph.D. program, the language competency exam made me the most apprehensive. I told Jonathan about my concerns and described what I thought I needed, individual tutoring adapted to my pace and lots of opportunities to ask questions. He designed a study course structure to meet my needs and talked me through each step of the learning process. I highly recommend his tutoring. Oh, and I passed my Latin competency exam! Thanks, Jonathan!
