Who we are
Founded in 1645 and set on 117 acres in the southwest corner of Boston, The Roxbury Latin School is an independent day school serving approximately 310 boys in grades 7-12.
A boys' school by conviction, Roxbury Latin is committed to the ethical formation and rigorous academic training of each boy entrust to us—through our small size; our passionate, talented, and dedicated faculty; and our mission to instill in students a desire to live intentional lives of purpose, characterized by concern for others. For over 380 years, The Roxbury Latin School has offered able and aspiring boys of Greater Boston a distinctive education. We seek boys who will thrive in a challenging environment that emphasizes character development, academic excellence, and broad extracurricular involvement.
We are looking for the boy who wants to do something meaningful—even great—with his life.
We actively strive for racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic diversity in our student body. Long before other schools came to appreciate the power of diversity, The Roxbury Latin School pursued and welcomed a student body reflective of Greater Boston’s broad demographic. We offer need-blind admission without concern for a family’s ability to pay, and we provide whatever financial aid is necessary for a family to be able to send their son here and for him to take part in all elements of our school program.
