• For nearly 90 years, our Motto and curriculum have promoted and continue to promote moral integrity, academic excellence and commitment to service in the Catholic faith tradition. The atmosphere of academic and spiritual leadership dates back to the School’s founding in 1923 as a college preparatory school to serve the region’s “best and brightest”.
• Research reveals that gifted students are more intellectually and academically advanced than their age peers. Acceleration is an intervention, allowing students to move at a pace, level and complexity appropriate to their individual needs. Latin School’s culture ensures that students will be surrounded with other academically inclined and motivated students who bring out the best in each other, both in and outside of the classroom.
• The Class of 2011 earned over $6.1 million in scholarship offers, averaging $184,800 per student. College placement is consistently 100% with Latin student ACT® and SAT® scores typically in the top 10% nationally.

This includes three university-level science classrooms and laboratories, a technology center, practice gym, fine arts studio, courtyard, a spacious two-level commons area and a stunning new cafeteria and multiuse space.
• Financial wealth should not determine access to the best education, nor should it shape a learning community. The unparalleled ambition of Latin School’s tuition assistance philosophy enables us to offer the Latin School experience to the best and brightest students across a broad spectrum of financial circumstances. We believe that no deserving student should be denied a Latin School education due to demonstrable financial need.
