Required Education:
Founded in 1844, The Boys’ Latin School of Maryland is the oldest, K - 12 all-boys independent school in Maryland, with three divisions serving 625 boys, including a residential life program for grades 9-12. Boys’ Latin strikes a unique balance between honoring tradition and embracing innovation, earning national recognition for its commitment to excellence in all-boys education. The addition of the residential life program invites students from across the country and around the world to engage in the School’s mission and vision, creating a dynamic and diverse community.
At Boys’ Latin, we are experts in all-boys education and are dedicated to doing what is best for boys. Our intentionally small and close-knit community ensures that every student is truly known and supported, fostering an environment where boys can thrive academically, socially, and personally. Guided by our core values of courage, integrity, and compassion, and inspired by our motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem), we empower each student to strive for excellence and to become his best self.
The School offers a rich and rigorous academic program complemented by a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. With a talented and dedicated faculty who understand how boys learn best, Boys’ Latin provides a supportive, student-centered environment where relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or in the dorms, Boys’ Latin is a place where tradition meets innovation, and where boys are inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.
