Description
 
 
Summer Latin in Rome began 30 years ago by Father Reginald Foster. The program is run by Fr. Foster at a convent in Rome, but students do not need to be priests, monks, nuns, Catholics, or Christians. Students need only to possess knowledge of Latin, love of the language, and the ability to work consistently at learning more. Forty to fifty students are chosen each year to participate in the program. The students are split into 2 groups, the intermediate group and the advanced group. The program lasts approximately 6 weeks from early June to mid-July. Classes are 6 days per week, approximately 3 hours each with optional sessions in the evenings and excursions on Sundays.

This sounds like an amazing program for a student who wants to learn true Latin and be able to practice it where they are living. However, judging by everything I have read about the program, it does not seem like it would be appropriate for a young student unless an adult planned to travel along. There is no supervision of off-class time and there is no set lodging arrangement. Students are completely responsible for every moment of their time they are not attending class. The class is rigorous and there are many assignments given.
