Founded in 2007 to address the dearth of quality educational opportunities for boys in Philadelphia, today we provide a world-class college preparatory education to 800 students in grades 6 through 12, the vast majority of whom are Black and Economically Disadvantaged. Our rigorous academic model blends classical education and contemporary pedagogy; sets high standards for achievement, character d

evelopment, and emotional intelligence; and features daily Latin classes, a 1:1 laptop program, and AP, Honors, and dual enrollment courses. Our students attend an extended day, after-school tutoring, and Saturday classes. Learning is underscored by practical experiences and extracurricular activities to develop students’ intellectual, moral, social, creative, and athletic potential. Since the first class graduated in 2011, our students have matriculated into and persisted through college at rates 3- to 4-times city averages.

Our beloved founder, David P. Hardy, stopped by today for our second annual Tie Tying Ceremony! This event has become a staple in our Boys’ Latin induction process for our incoming freshman classes; welcoming them into their newfound brotherhood. Alumni spoke and helped their younger brothers tie their ties around their neck. Something they’ll be doing throughout their days with us in the winter months.

Boys’ Latin students transform from boys to men over the course of their time with us. Class of 2030, we can’t wait to see the kind of men you become! 📚🎓
