Our faculty—dedicated experts in their disciplines—are keenly aware that our primary and collective duty is to serve as role models to our boys.

About our Faculty

Roxbury Latin students often point to their relationships with their teachers—which last well beyond their RL years—as one of the most valuable elements of their education. Our passionate, talented, and dedicated faculty know the boys well, both in and out of the classroom. As role models, they help to instill in our students a desire to live intentional lives of purpose, characterized by concern for others. Relationships among Roxbury Latin faculty and students are strong and deep. Boys understand that the faculty love them and want to help them achieve worthy goals.
