All-Boys Education
As Experts in all-boys education — We understand how boys think and learn
At Boys’ Latin, we pride ourselves in being experts in all-boys education, because we care most about the man your son will become.
Here, we purposefully cultivate the important skills and qualities society too often discourages in young men, like the freedom to express emotion and foster community. Boys learn to care for one another and the greater community. At our School, these aren’t just expectations, they are norms -- a hallmark of both the boys we teach, and the men they become.
At Boys’ Latin you will be challenged to be multidimensional - not just a scholar or an artist or an athlete, but all of these and more. You will be fully engaged in your learning through the hands-on activities, competition, and teamwork we know will capture your interest and drive your growth.
Headmaster Chris Post: A LEADER IN BOYS' EDUCATION
Chris Post has dedicated more than 30 years of his career to all-boys education. Since 2008, he has served as the Headmaster of Boys' Latin School, bringing a deep commitment to helping boys uncover who they are, become the best versions of themselves, and grow into men of courage, compassion, and integrity.
BOYS' LATIN AND THE INTERNATIONAL BOYS' SCHOOL COALITION (IBSC)
The International Boys' Schools Coalition is a nonprofit organization of schools dedicated to the education and development of boys worldwide.
Chris’s involvement with the International Boys’ Schools Coalition began in 1997 when he attended his first IBSC Annual Conference as a young history teacher working outside of Washington, DC. At that time, the IBSC was still in its early stages, but Chris recognized its potential to shape the future of boys’ education.
Over the years, his role within IBSC expanded significantly. In 2015, Chris joined the IBSC Board, and in 2017, he led the Annual Conference hosted at Boys' Latin. In 2018, he was appointed Secretary of the Board, and from 2021 to July 2024, he served as Board Chair. Chris' unwavering focus on ensuring that what is best for boys is at the center of all decisions, has made a lasting impact on fulfilling the missions of both IBSC and Boys' Latin. Chris values Boys’ Latin’s strong partnership with IBSC and takes pride in the school’s ongoing contributions to advancing all-boys education.
focused on what's best for boys
From kindergarten through twelfth grade, we are reshaping how our boys learn, play and interact - squarely focused on doing what is best for boys . We’ve launched a School-wide initiative designed to help boys be more present, engaged and connected. Through our "away for the day" phone policy for middle and upper school students, an unstructured play space for lower school boys, and a digital citizenship curriculum designed for middle school students, we’re addressing the challenges facing students today and preparing them for the future.
I believe that the education of boys — and formation of young men — has never been more important than it is today.chris post headmaster
Hands-On Experiential Learning
Research shows that the best education for boys happens when you are directly engaged in your learning and our educational philosophy centers on hands-on, experiential learning that involves action and movement. Our curriculum is tailored to reflect how you think and learn, helping you to understand the “whys” rather than just the “hows” in your lessons, which increases your engagement in your learning.
Our faculty are experts in teaching boys; they focus on what is best for boys inside and outside the classroom. They work hard to get to know each boy and develop deep personal relationships. The trust and respect between you and your teachers will give you the confidence to take risks, challenge yourself, and reach your full potential.
Building Healthy Relationships
Boys’ Latin was the first school in the country to create a One Love Club and work in partnership with the One Love Foundation. The club strives to educate students on the importance of healthy relationships, to help boys identify the warning signs of relationship violence, and, most important, to empower boys and young men to make a difference in their lives and the lives of other students.
For the second year in a row Boys’ Latin has been named HERO Certified School by the One Love Foundation. Active throughout the year, the club culminates the year with their annual School-wide One Laker │One Love Day; the entire school participates in age-appropriate activities throughout the day.
