Latin Courses
At The Classics Lab, we offer a variety of Latin courses designed to meet students where they are—whether they're complete beginners or experienced readers. Our classes are organized around trusted and time-tested textbooks, including Henle Latin, Cambridge Latin Course, and more.
Choose the course that’s right for you, and begin your Latin journey with confidence and community.
The Henle Latin curriculum is a traditional, grammar-first program originally developed for high school students and still widely used in classical education settings. It emphasizes memorization, translation, and mastery of Latin forms, with a strong focus on Latin as a tool for developing logical thinking and precision in language. At The Classics Lab, we complement this rigorous grammar foundation by incorporating short Latin readings that allow students to apply and reinforce the structures they’re learning in a meaningful context.
(Ages 12+)
The Cambridge Latin Course takes a reading-based approach to Latin, immersing students in engaging stories set in the Roman world while gradually introducing grammar and vocabulary in context. At The Classics Lab, we supplement this reading approach with focused grammar instruction to ensure students build both fluency and a strong foundation in Latin structure.

The Minimus Latin curriculum is a lively, story-based introduction to Latin designed for younger students, combining language learning with Roman history, culture, and mythology. At The Classics Lab, we use Minimus to build vocabulary, introduce basic grammar, and spark curiosity through engaging characters, colorful illustrations, and hands-on activities.

At The Classics Lab, we complement this rigorous grammar foundation by incorporating short Latin readings that allow students to apply and reinforce the structures they’re learning in a meaningful context.
