At Great Hearts Irving, universal Latin instruction is one of the key ways that we impart the tradition of Western Civilization to our scholars. Latin Night is an opportunity to learn more about our Latin program.

All Lower School parents are invited to join us in the Forum on Thursday, October 6, 2022 from 6 to 7pm for a special night in celebration of our Lower School Latin program. Our Latin Teachers, administration, and special guest Dr. Laura Eidt will share information and answer parent questions about our Latin curriculum, why we teach Latin, how we teach Latin, and how you can support your child’s learning of Latin from home.

This event is designed as an informational night for parents only, and space is limited. Please plan to leave your children at home.

Our Special Guest

Joining us for Latin Night will be our very special guest, Dr. Laura Eidt. Dr. Eidt is Affiliate Assistant Professor of Modern Languages, Humanities Program Director, and Faculty Advisor for the K-12 Classical Curriculum Project at the University of Dallas. In that last role, Dr. Eidt is currently overseeing the development of Latin Through Stories, an all-new, innovative, immersive Latin curriculum designed specifically for elementary-aged children that we are honored to be piloting here at Great Hearts Irving. Dr. Eidt is also a Great Hearts Irving parent and a dear friend and partner of the Lower School.
