What is Certamen?

Certamen is a fast-paced, quiz-bowl-style competition that challenges students on their knowledge of Latin, Greek, and classical civilizations. Participants answer questions on ancient cultures, languages, and their influence on the modern world. The matches are both educational and highly competitive, making it an exciting challenge for students passionate about history and languages.

Looking Ahead to the State Finals

With their regional victories, the Ridgewood teams are now setting their sights on the state competition in April. Their dedication and skill have already proven them to be strong contenders—now, they’ll take on the best teams in New Jersey for the state title.

👏 Congratulations to all the students and coaches for their hard work and success! Stay tuned for more updates as they prepare for the next round.
