News & Events

The National Latin Exam is a test given annually to Latin students across the United States and the world, an opportunity for students to receive reinforcement and recognition for their accomplishments in the classroom. More than 130 Norfolk Academy students across all three divisions received honors for their performances on the 2021-22 school year exam, including two sixth graders who recorded perfect scores.

Students at Academy begin daily Latin instruction in the sixth grade, after taking Latin as a resource class in fourth and fifth grades. That early introduction to the ancient language not only builds their vocabulary in English, but also establishes a strong foundation for launching into a modern foreign language in Middle School. Many NA students continue Latin instruction throughout Upper School alongside their study of a modern foreign language -- French, Spanish, or German.
