MS, US Earn Gold Medals on National Latin Exam
In March, St. Andrew’s Latin students took the National Latin Exam (NLE). They competed with over 143,000 students from 50 states and 24 countries. There are separate exams for different levels of Latin, and students in each level are awarded medals (gold and silver) for high achievement. Twenty-three Upper School students were recognized with some kind of award. Four students received Gold Medals and six received Silver Medals, the two highest awards on the exam.
St. Andrew's Middle School had 23 students take the exam, and 15 of them scored above the national average and earned awards.

Additionally, Bering Edwards ‘22 competed in three exams with the Upper School Latin students.
