Founded in 1645, Roxbury Latin is not only the oldest school in continuous existence in North America, it is also the oldest boys’ school on the continent. For all of our 380 years we have offered a program explicitly designed for the students in our care. Our work has been steady and sure, and our boys have flourished.
