Tuition
The tuition for 2024-2025 is $40,600. There are no other charges, except that each boy must provide himself with the necessary books and a few personal athletic supplies. Income from the school’s endowment and contributions to the school’s Annual Fund help keep tuition far below other independent school tuitions and more affordable for all families. (Roxbury Latin’s tuition is about 65% of that of other Boston-area independent schools.)
Financial Aid
Roxbury Latin is committed to making an education affordable to all admitted students regardless of financial need. In fact, the tuition charged in 2023-2024 represented less than 57 percent of the total cost of a boy’s education. Roxbury Latin provides a comprehensive and generous financial aid program, focused on reaching out to families from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Thirty-nine percent of students receive financial assistance. All Roxbury Latin financial aid is based exclusively on need; the school does not offer any merit based awards or student loans. Financial aid awards this year range from $1,000 to $40,400. Further, the school makes every effort to ensure that each boy can participate in activities that complement the program, such as school trips, by awarding additional financial assistance. The following is a summary of financial aid awards, by income range, granted in 2024-2025:
