A Look Back to Move Forward

Certamen (pronounced care-TA-men), the Latin word for competition, is a classics-based quiz bowl-style trivia competition. Contestants race to hit a buzzer and answer questions about Latin grammar, Roman history and culture, Greco-Roman mythology, and more.

Studying the classics leads students to recognize God’s sovereignty and providence as it has been revealed throughout time. They come to understand the historical significance and chronological position of influential people and watershed events and their influence on contemporary thought and culture.
