The Roxbury Latin School

Join us at Roxbury Latin for one of two open houses this fall, to learn about the people and program, campus and culture of our school. Serving boys in grades 7 through 12, we care, most of all, what kind of person a boy is. Each year we seek young men who are intellectually curious, willing to put their talents to use and try something new, and who are committed to the values of strong character—honesty, respect, and concern for others.

We welcome you to learn more on Saturday, October 3, or Sunday, November 15. For a complete schedule, and to register, visit https://www.roxburylatin.org/admission/admission-events/

One of Roxbury Latin’s great treasures is the collection of adults who commit their time, talent, and energy to caring for our boys and this institution. This fall we are grateful to welcome (and, in some cases, to welcome back!) the following teachers, coaches, advisors, and professionals:

Andrea Larkin, Business Office Associate

“Talent is distributed randomly across the population, but opportunity isn’t. And as a twenty-something I had mistaken knowing that inequality existed for understanding it.”

Alumnus Drew Martin ‘98 is the CEO of Thrive Scholars. He began his career in educational access as a fifth-grade teacher in the Bronx with Teach for America; founded Rise Academy at the age of 26; and was at the helm of KIPP New Jersey for nearly 20 years. On September 10 he delivered a powerful, inspiring, important Hall as this year’s Wyner Lecturer—underscoring for RL’s boys the machinery behind their opportunities and success, and the possibility found in becoming part of that machinery for someone else: “You may not know whether the project will succeed mightily or fail. You may never know every life you touch, but such a project is worth a life.”
