In Williston’s language program you’ll develop linguistic fluency and cultural literacy in French, Latin, Chinese, or Spanish. Supportive and enthusiastic faculty will encourage you to go beyond gerunds and participles, and will spark your interest in the ways people communicate and connect in our increasingly multicultural world.

Imagine learning a language by being immersed in the culture of its speakers. That’s how School Year Abroad works. You have the option to spend your junior year in one of four countries: China, France, Italy, or Spain. It’s an unforgettable experience and an exceptional opportunity for students who are ready for adventure.

Each winter, busloads of Williston Latin students head to Mount Holyoke College for Classics Day, a celebration of ancient cultures. Participants don white gloves and use magnifying glasses to examine and analyze millennia-old Roman coins, sport togas for the oratory competition, and act in classics-inspired skits—proving beyond a doubt that Latin is alive and well in Massachusetts.
