Ascanius is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge of the ancient Greco-Roman world on the elementary and middle-school levels. Latin, more than ever before, is a living language of universal and perennial relevance that is enjoying a revival in schools across the country. The study of Latin, as well as the study of Classics in general, helps students understand humanity and appreciate the influence that the classical world has had on virtually every aspect of our lives, including our literature, art and architecture, political ideals, values, and sense of history. It gives students a means of understanding the connection between ancient and modern, not only factually, but with the critical judgment to put that knowledge to use.
