Latin, mathematics, and music are the basic and universal languages and the core of the curriculum at Highlands Latin School. Latin begins as early as second grade and continues every year, culminating in the translation of Latin literature in grades 9-12.

All new students in both the lower and upper schools are enrolled in an age-appropriate beginning Latin class. New students join with more advanced students in the Upper or Lower School Latin Choir and Assembly.

HLS uses the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) to test every student in Kindergarten-8th grade.
