Subscribers can work at their own pace. Two possible examination dates (in June and November) enable you to complete either one course annually or per semester. After completing SS IV, Potchefstroom University offers a follow-up correspondence course in Oxford Latin

Why Latin?

In all our activities, in every walk of life, we depend on words to convey our ideas. Something like half the modern English vocabulary has either been borrowed directly from Latin or come from Latin through French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese all of which are direct descendants of Latin. Present courses in Medical Terminology and Legal Terminology at the University of Pretoria are based on Latin and Schola Scripta offers an excellent basis for these courses.

FOUNDATION

BUILDING BLOCKS

FUTURE...

"Those children were building, well, not a schoolhouse, exactly, but a whole college – a college education. They were building their future lives. Latin was giving them the foundation blocks with which to do it!"

If we build a new schoolhouse  don’t tear down the old schoolhouse till the new one is built. Success in life is built on a firm foundation.
