Boys' Latin Viewbook: Small by Design.

S M A L L by D E S I G N

Boys’ Latin is small by design.

We leverage our small size to ensure that every boy is truly known and deeply valued, inspiring each boy to achieve academic and personal excellence.

Through our deliberate small size, we prepare students for a bright future and to make their mark on the world.

LIFE AT BOYS’ LATIN

Every boy is known for who he is today—and all he can be tomorrow.

Teachers are mentors and peers become brothers.

Building enduring personal relationships is the hallmark of Boys’ Latin and the foundation of the education we provide.

Our dedicated faculty get to know each boy, learning what drives him, what books he loves and what his favorite part of the school day is. And our boys support each other through both their triumphs and challenges.

LIFE AT BOYS’ LATIN

BUILDING CONNECTIONS OUR LAKER BUDDY program connects

upper schoolers with lower school students, to serve as big brothers and role models.

Whether helping with homework, spending time on the playground or sharing stories, you can bet that they are building bonds that last a lifetime.

PUBLIC SPEAKING begins with

our youngest learners and continues through the upper school, building confidence every step of the way. This hard work culminates with each senior delivering a Senior Speech before the entire upper school, faculty, friends and parents where he shares his journeys, experiences and the lessons he’s learned through the years.

Learning designed for boys—experiential and hands-on.

From the strongest learner who wants extra challenges to those who would like more support, we meet the needs of every boy.

We teach boys to think critically, question assumptions and expand their capacity for inquiry. Whether our boys are challenging each other to build a championship-winning robot, collaborating on a multivariate calculus problem or creatively using art to represent a story or perspective, they are building the critical skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

EXTRACURRICULARS AT BOYS’ LATIN

We leverage the power of our small school to create a big stage for our boys.

Boys have space to pursue their passions and discover talents they didn’t even know they had, because a life-changing education goes beyond the classroom.

In our all-boys environment, students embrace their true selves, unlocking their full potential without the social pressure often found in coed settings. They are challenged to be multidimensional—not just a scholar or an artist or an athlete, but all of these and more.
