Admission Team - The Roxbury Latin School

Contact the Admission Office

At Roxbury Latin, our approach to the admission process is personal, and unique. The Admission Committee is not a singular branch of school operation, but rather one securely rooted within the larger school context. The Committee is comprised of RL’s teaching faculty, coaches, and program directors, which ensures that as families seek to learn about the school through open houses, information nights, school fairs, and visits to campus, they will interact directly with the men and women doing the daily work in different areas of school life. Nearly all of RL’s teaching faculty serve on the Admission Committee—attending admission events, conducting interviews, evaluating candidates—drawing from all academic departments and extracurricular programs. This model grants applicant families important access to the authentic voices of school life. The instructors who comprise the Admission Committee, dedicated to helping shape school culture and community, invest deeply in the current student body, and they also understand the important role they play in investing in the next generation of Roxbury Latin students.

Admission Committee Members

Roxbury Latin’s Admission Committee includes nearly every faculty member in the school, which means that the individual you meet with during your campus visit and interview is likely to end up being your teacher, coach, or advisor. RL’s unique admission approach means that our faculty is invested in getting to know our prospective students each year from the very start of the process.
