About Us
Our Story
SalvÄ“te! My name is Alexis Carrico, I’m the creator and instructor of JAM with Latin. When I first heard my son should learn Latin in our homeschool community I thought it was absurd. My fears were reinforced when he struggled through the Henle textbook. Determined to support him, as all homeschool moms do, I embarked on my own Latin learning journey to craft personalized lessons tailored to his needs.
​
Before I knew it the two of us were learning to love Latin! After he graduated I didn’t want to stop. I decided to build a program that would help others learn to love Latin as much as we do. JAM with Latin was created for the sake of students everywhere feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Using fun videos, easy-to-understand assignments, and bits size course material JAM will have you loving Latin too.

JAM Creator | Instructor
Alexis Carrico is the mother of three lovely children, all. of whom she homeschooled, and two adorable dogs. She hold a Bachelor of Arts and Science in U.S. History and Secondary Education from Salve Regina University (1997). Alexis has been teaching Latin for over 15 years, specializing in the Robert Henle Latin textbook series. To date, I have taught more than 5,000 students around the world.
When she’s not working on JAM you can find Alexis in Houston, Texas watching Friends with her youngest daughter or walking their very snobby (but cute) dog Beau. Her favorite Latin phrase is from John 1:5 et lÅ«x in tenebrÄ«s lucet.
