Classical Quest (formerly Via Latina) is the daily practice companion for classical education families. In about 10 minutes a day, students review Latin, memory work, geography, timeline, math, English grammar, science, and fine arts through games, spaced repetition, oral recitation, and parent-visible progress. Works alongside any classical approach — whether you follow a traditional trivium curriculum, a literature-based program, or your own classical path. WHAT'S INSIDE • Latin — Vocabulary, declensions, conjugations, and translation practice across Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric stages • Timeline — Hundreds of historical events across world history • Math — Skip counting, multiplication, conversions, geometry, and algebra drills • English Grammar — Prepositions, helping verbs, sentence patterns, irregular verbs • Science — Biology, earth science, astronomy, and chemistry facts • Geography — US states and capitals, world countries, rivers, mountains, oceans • Fine Arts — Drawing techniques, music theory, great artists and composers FEATURES THAT MAKE PRACTICE STICK • Marcus, your guided tutor — personalized practice that meets each student where they are • Spaced repetition — scientifically proven for long-term retention, not just memorizing for a test • 45+ interactive games that make drill practice feel like play • Three age-stage tracks — Grammar Stage (ages 4–12), Logic Stage (middle school), Rhetoric Stage (high school) • Oral recitation practice — simulate recitation across all subjects to build confidence • Typing practice — build keyboarding skills using classical vocabulary • Text-to-speech — hear any Latin word pronounced aloud • Parent and student dashboards — see exactly what each child has practiced and mastered • Daily streaks and achievement badges to keep kids coming back • Works on iPad and iPhone BUILT FOR REAL HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES Created by a classical homeschool family who needed their kids to actually practice — not just sit at the kitchen table fighting over flashcards.
