My experience at Boys' Latin was very different than other schools I had attended in the past. Boys' Latin gave me all the resources I needed to be able to reach my educational goal while setting me up for the jump to college.

Teachers will tell you your child didn't do well on a quiz with no interception or plan to help them do better going forward. Children are expected to reach out out for extra credit...
