Meet Buck Holler

Buck Holler is a former horse trainer and rodeo cowboy from Red Bluff, CA. Retiring from the rodeo circuit, Buck headed to New England to study theology and languages at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 2001. Since then he has worked as an educator and administrator in CA, New York City, and eastern NC. Buck first joined The CiRCE Institute as an apprentice in 2007, became a head mentor for the East Coast III apprenticeship in 2017, began the Latin Apprenticeship in 2019, and now serves in Concord, NC as CiRCE’s director of consulting. 

Tirocinium Latinum is crafted to help parents, teachers, or students who want to learn Latin by building the required skills to think, read, and communicate in Latin. While this program aims to read Latin texts, language skills contribute to another goal of enlarging the soul. Through a language such as Latin, we gain a greater vision of humanitas, a common vision of what it means to be human. This perennial question weaves its way through western literature explored within the linguistic cultures of Greek and Latin. Thus, learning Latin nourishes the soul enabling us to partake in the great conversation that has continued for more than two millennia.

CiRCE Scholae Aestivae – Fundamentals of Language Instruction

The CiRCE Institute’s Summer Latin Intensive is designed to provide additional professional development to new teachers or teachers new to the active language classroom. Educators who attend this intensive study under a CiRCE Head Mentor for five days in Kannapolis, NC in the new beautiful facility of the CiRCE Institute.

Participants begin the week with an overview of the history and modes of language instruction. The next four days guide teachers through the activities of teaching Latin actively using all four language faculties: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The day is divided by an instructional morning session followed by lunch at the institute. Participants spend the afternoons practicing the skills studied during the morning sessions.

By the end of the week, each participant will have attended to the principles of active language instruction learning how to study and teach words-in-context.
