Founded in 1645, Roxbury Latin is not only the oldest School in continuous existence in North America; it is also, by my reckoning, the oldest boys' School on the continent. For all of our 374 years, we have offered a program explicitly designed for the boys in our care. Our work has been steady and sure. Of Roxbury Latin's singular qualities, however, none contributes more powerfully to the life of our School than the background and nature of our boys. Long before other schools sought to demonstrate some semblance of diversity, Roxbury Latin pursued and welcomed a student body reflective of Greater Boston's broad demographic. We offer admission without concern for a fa…
