THE COOPER CAMPUS OPENED IN 2022 WITH GRADES 5 AND 6, AND WE ARE ADDING ONE ADDITIONAL GRADE EACH YEAR UNTIL WE REACH OUR FULL COMPLEMENT OF GRADES 5-12 IN THE 2028-2029 SCHOOL YEAR.AT LATIN, WE AIM FOR A DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT BODY AND HAVE ENROLLED STUDENTS FROM EACH OF THE EIGHT WARDS OF WASHINGTON, DC, IN EVERY ONE OF OUR 19 YEARS. ANY STUDENT IN GRADES 5 THROUGH 12 WHO IS EAGER TO LEARN AND WILLING TO WORK TOWARD AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION WILL FIND OUR PROGRAM REWARDING AND WILL GRADUATE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE OR CAREER.OUR PRIMARY SOURCES OF SUPPORT ARE LOCAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS FROM THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND FEDERAL ENTITLEMENT FUNDING THROUGH THE OFFICE OF THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, WE COLLECT STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES AND RECEIVE GRANTS AND DONATIONS FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS.CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION:INHERENT IN OUR SCHOOL'S DESIGN IS A PURPOSEFUL TENSION BETWEEN THE IDEALS OF CLASSICAL EDUCATION AND THE REALITIES OF THE MODERN WORLD. AS A CLASSICAL SCHOOL, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THE ESTABLISHED WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS, PARTICULARLY THE CULTURES OF GREECE AND ROME. AT THE SAME TIME, WE STRIVE TO CONVEY THESE LEGACIES WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT REFLECTS THE BEST OF CONTEMPORARY LIFE, INCLUDING A COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND A VARIETY OF PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES.WE EMPLOY BOTH TRADITIONAL METHODS - SUCH AS REPETITION AND SOCRATIC DIALOGUE - AND CONTEMPORARY INNOVATIONS, INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY AND COOPERATIVE LEARNING. THIS BALANCE BETWEEN CLASSICAL AND MODERN IS EXPLORED THROUGH A BROAD LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM CENTERED ON THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH, BEAUTY, AND GOODNESS. THE LIBERAL ARTS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A MULTIFACETED VIEW OF THE WORLD AND PREPARE THEM TO BE THOUGHTFUL GLOBAL CITIZENS. WE ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO QUESTION ASSUMPTIONS, BROADEN THEIR PERSPECTIVES, AND DEVELOP CONFIDENCE, EMPATHY, AND FLEXIBILITY. OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUTONOMOUS SELF AND SUPPORT STUDENTS IN PURSUING THEIR FULLER HUMANITY.WE HAVE A STABLE AND DEDICATED FACULTY WHO BRING DEEP INSTRUCTIONAL EXPERTISE AND PASSION FOR THEIR SUBJECT AREAS TO THE CLASSROOM.
