Students performed very well on their National Latin Exam (NLE), a test given annually to Latin students across the United States and the world. This test is an opportunity for students to receive recognition for their accomplishments in the classroom. Some students — those with exceptional scores — receive certificates and medals, and sometimes even qualify for scholarships.

Congratulations, students!
At Belmont, students begin Latin in the third grade. Latin trains the mind, helping students develop mental discipline and precision. Through the study of Latin, students learn the structure of language, grow in their ability to organize thoughts, and mature in their writing abilities. At the same time, students become acquainted with a language of great importance in the history of Western civilization, both classical and Christian, and grow their ability to read in the original Latin some of the best books and most important documents ever written.
