Mission Statement Boston Latin School is a six year college preparatory school, which fosters the pursuit of excellence through a rigorous academic program in the classical tradition. The institution provides the groundwork for full participation in our economy and society. Since its beginning in 1635, Boston Latin School has continued to offer significant opportunities for students to appreciate the importance of education. A Day in the Life Students are required to take five or six academic subjects per day. The school operates on a six day rotating schedule.
Opportunities are available for extensive study in music and art.
A wide array of extracurricular activities is available as an extension of the normal school day. There were 2260 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year. Our school is close to meeting this district goal. The MCAS was designed to measure how well students, schools, and districts are performing on the state's learning standards contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. These graphs show the growth for the same group of students who were in our school for the entire 1999-2000 school year.
