About us
A humanist grammar school with a languages and a music branch, located in the Francke Foundations in Halle (Saale). With more than 300 years of history, the Latina is the oldest school of the Foundations.
Two branches
From year 5, students add Latin or French, and from year 8 a third language: French, Russian, Spanish or Ancient Greek. They can earn the Latinum, the Graecum, the DELF diploma and the AbiBac, a combined German Abitur and French baccalauréat.
Since 1993/94, the music branch has trained especially gifted young musicians. Together with singers of the Stadtsingechor zu Halle they form the music classes, with instrumental lessons, choir and orchestra.
European school since 1997
The Latina has partner schools in France, Finland and Russia, organises trips to Strasbourg and Taizé, and takes part in the European Competition, the Model European Parliament and the Cinéfête.
History
The Latina’s boarding house, the Pensionsanstalt, was founded in 1697. It is housed in the Long House of 1714, considered the largest timber-framed building in Central Germany. Today’s school buildings date from 1906 and 1914 and were renovated by 2014.
