Exposure to Latin in the Elementary School is one of the most efficient ways of improving spelling, reading, and writing skills. Studies show that learning Latin improves English verbal scores on standardized tests. The study of Latin also establishes a foundation for learning other modern languages.

This three day workshop is designed to provide Elementary Teachers and Administrators with a Curriculum Guide and a Promotional Program for introducing the study of Latin into the elementary curriculum (Grades 3-6) and for strengthening these programs already in existence at this level. Hands-on activities, resources and teaching materials will be discussed, shared and evaluated. The materials (which will form the focus of the Institute) are appropriate for developing a Latin course as part of the regular curriculum, or for an after-school enrichment club, for individual families, in distance learning, or as a curriculum for home schooling.
