    Roxbury Latin School. “RL” is a private, college-preparatory all-boys day school located in West Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1645 by John Eliot, Roxbury Latin bills itself as the oldest boys’ school in North America and the oldest school in continuous existence in North America. It sits on a 120 acres (49 ha) campus.

    Eliot was a Puritan missionary to the American Indians known as “the apostle to the Indians.”

    Roxbury Latin has been recognized in several lists of schools that send their students to selective universities.

    In the five-year period from 2019 to 2023, Roxbury Latin placed 84 students at Ivy League schools, nearly half of whom (38) attended Harvard College. Approximately 55 boys graduate from Roxbury Latin every year. In 2010, Forbes ranked Roxbury Latin the fifth-best prep school in the U.S.

    In June 2022, Roxbury Latin‘s financial endowment stood at $171 million.
