The Roxbury Latin School (informally known as RL) is a private, college-preparatory all-boys day school located in West Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1645 by Puritan missionary John Eliot, Roxbury Latin bills itself as the oldest boys' school in North America and the oldest school in continuous existence in North America.
Roxbury Latin enrolls about 300 boys from the seventh through twelfth grades. The school has an endowment of $171 million (as of June 2022). 38% of students are on financial aid and 100% of admitted students' demonstrated financial need was met in 2022. In addition, the school has a policy of charging frontline tuition that is "about 65% of that of other Boston-area independent schools." Tuition for the 2023-24 academic year is $39,250.
