1645 was the opening day for Roxbury Latin School, a school in Boston for boys in grades 7 to 12. It was the first to be chartered in this country and is “the oldest school in continuous existence in North America.” The mission of the school, since its founding in 1645, has been to prepare boys to “lead and serve.”
It is and has been one of the finest schools in the country. And I don't say this because two of my sons went there. It is well-endowed so that the tuition is much less than other private schools. But children of all economic backgrounds have graduated from the school; it has a very strong scholarship program. And has graduated many who have helped change the country and the world.
