Democratizing Access to Latin and the Classics
Our Mission
Why "Latin for All"?
Latin, and Classics as a whole, has traditionally been reserved for the elite. Access to learning Classical languages is still not widespread across the United States and many other parts of the world.
Our goal is to bring Classics into the 21st century by reimagining accessibility and democratizing learning for all.

Our Story
Latin for All was founded by Danielle Kobrick in the summer of 2021. Concerned that the Latin program in her own school district would be discontinued, Dani sought a way to support not only her own community, but also young scholars around the world.
