building a bigger family
At Boys’ Latin, no boy ever stands alone – especially our boarding students. We welcome boys from all over the country and around the world into our school, our homes, and our hearts. Here, we build in weekly dorm meetings, group dinners, and the opportunity to mentor our youngest Lakers, ensuring that our boarders are part of our BL community.
Boarding fits seamlessly into our mission and represents a bold new chapter in our storied history. A chapter we welcome boarding students to write in partnership with us. And, because it’s designed from the ground up, our curriculum incorporates the latest innovations in both residential and all-boys education – helping us raise boys who thrive in a time when it has never been more challenging or more important.
WE INVITE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF BOYS' LATIN BOARDING!

On January 16, 2020, Boys' Latin finalized the purchase of the adjacent 28-acre property from the Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart. On this property, we will open Baltimore's only seven-day boarding program for boys. The former Josephite retirement home will be transformed into an expansive state of the art residential living facility that will house 40 boarding students. -

For over 175 years, we have centered our academic program on real-world experiential learning. The newly-acquired property will provide boys with a wealth of hands-on outdoor learning opportunities, serving as an outdoor classroom for students across the entire school. -
Once you’re home you stay home: everything the boys will need after-hours will be located in our boarding schoolhouse. The new residential life facility will include expansive common spaces, a separate dining area and multiple kitchenettes, laundry facilities, faculty apartments, and twenty spacious dorm rooms serving 40 students, each with a private full bathroom. -
Each of the residence hall's twenty dormitory rooms will be sized at approximately 350 sq. ft. with its own fully-equipped private bathroom. -
Equipped with a full-size kitchen and multiple kitchenettes, the dorm will have a central dining area. Boys will be able to eat breakfast and dinner in the convenience of their dorm, and evening dinners will feature a hot meal in a family-style setting. -
The residence hall will include expansive common spaces for study and student life. Boys may often be found relaxing with friends, playing ping pong, watching a sporting event, or chatting with a day student or faculty member who stopped in for a visit.

The Boarding Experience
Boys’ Latin offers an immersive seven-day boarding experience. Students from across the country and around the world will be part of our boarding community. Families who live closer to campus also may choose a boarding experience for their son(s), providing boys with the opportunity to learn and grow in a boarding environment without being overtaxed by long commutes and busy schedules, while families are near enough to attend Boys’ Latin games, concerts, and on-campus events.
Weekends will be a busy time for boarders. The campus often bustles with athletic competitions, and numerous other BL events and activities, including the annual Bull & Oyster Roast, Fall Festival and Homecoming Weekend. A plethora of activities will be planned for each weekend, including everything from going out for breakfast to visiting museums in Washington D.C. to a ski or tubing trip in the nearby Pocono Mountains. Each of our boarding students will be paired with a day student family for a home-cooked meal, a movie night, or a game at Camden Yards. This is just one more way of integrating boarders into our BL family.
Located on 72 rolling acres of countryside Boys’ Latin is only 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore and a little over an hour from Washington DC. We invite you to see for yourself all the exciting things Baltimore has to offer.

Community
At Boys’ Latin, each and every one of our students is known -- for who he is today, and all he will be tomorrow. Our K-12 family is small by design because nearly two centuries of all-boys education has taught us that a close-knit community builds a foundation of confidence. Of compassion. Of curiosity. And of character.
Whether working with a day student on a history project in their dorm room, engaging with lower school students in our Laker Buddy Program, or joining a faculty or staff member for dinner in their home, we know that boarding students will be welcomed and embraced by our community. We often say “once a Laker, always a Laker,” and we can’t wait for you to join our Laker family.
