The Ancient Language Institute exists to aid students in their path to proficiency in ancient languages, to improve the way ancient languages are taught, and to foster a rebirth of the humanistic tradition. We do all of this because, like Cicero, we believe that the ancient authors have left us "images of the bravest of men—not merely for contemplation, but also for imitation." Reading and listening to the ancient authors in their own words is the best way to gaze upon these images. This is the essence of the humanistic tradition. We invite you to come join us.
