Academic Programs

Diplomas in Ecclesiastical Latin
VSI is partnering with the Pontifical Institute of Higher Latin to offer two unique diploma programs tailored for clergy and Latin teachers.
No prior Latin? No problem!
No prior Latin? No problem!
Personal Interest Online Courses
VSI's online courses are open to students that want to study for personal enrichment without committing to a diploma program. Our growing list of faculty from around the world offer courses for all levels and interests.
Latin Immersion Workshops
Have you already studied Latin for a few semesters, but want to make the next step to becoming fluent? Learn Latin the natural way by immersing yourself in the language of the Church for a week.
Kitchen Table Latin (Tutoring)
Are you homeschooling, preparing for an exam, or just want one-on-one instruction? Do you want to study with a qualified, experienced Latinist? What about Greek, Hebrew, etc.? VSI has a tutor for you!
"...may the Institute...be the vehicle by which “the ancient and uninterrupted use of Latin be maintained and, where necessary, restored”
I am sure we will see wonderful things emerge from this new educational enterprise.
There are few events outside my abbey I find desirable to attend, but every year I look forward to returning to Charlotte for Veterum Sapientia.
The effective, friendly, Catholic learning environment that VSI creates is unmatched in the United States right now. To anyone who is on the fence about trying this out, I say Duc in altum!
I would recommend the seminar for those who want to deepen their knowledge of Latin and to learn not only to read, but also to listen, understand, speak and write it themselves.
...VSI will play its part in the great program to which all Catholics are called to contribute: Instaurare omnia in Christo.
