Mission Statement

SALVI's mission is to propagate communicative approaches to Latin language acquisition, making the entire Classical tradition of Western culture more available to – and enjoyable for – students, teachers, and the general public.

Educational Programs

Rusticatio and Septimana Californiana are week-long Latin immersion programs suitable for all who have completed at least the equivalent of two years of college Latin. Through various conversational activities, participants will begin to activate their knowledge of Latin. Two Bidua Latina in Charles Town, West Virginia, and Malibu, California, provide a full weekend of Latin immersion. Teachers will return to their classrooms with active Latin strategies they can use right away. The Academia Aestiva, hosted at the Getty Villa in Malibu, California, is a five-day partial-immersion workshop designed for high school Latin students of all levels.

Media

Samohi Latin Media (SLAM), in cooperation with SALVI, is committed to creating high-quality films in Latin. Visit our Media page to see trailers.
