Boston Latin Academy is a public school founded in 1877 in Boston, Massachusetts providing students in grades 7th through 12th a rigorous classical preparatory education.Formerly named Girls' Latin School prior to 1977, the school was the first college preparatory high school for girls in the United States. Now coeducational, the school is currently located in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston and is part of the Boston Public School system.HistoryBoston Latin Academy was founded on November 27, 1877 as Girls' Latin School . The school was founded as a result of citizen and parent participation with the intention to give college preparatory training to girls. A plan to admit girls to Public Latin School was formed by an executive committee of the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women. Three visionary and driving members of this executive committee, Emily Talbot, Florence Cushing, and Annie Fields deserve much of the credit for the school's founding. Henry Durant, president of Wellesley College and one of the most brilliant legal minds in Boston, was also greatly instrumental in outlining the legal route for the school to be established. A petition with a thousand signatures was presented to the School Board in September 1877. The board referred the question to the subcommittee on high schools. Meanwhile, Emily Talbot met with the headmaster of Public Latin School and asked that her daughter and another girl be admitted. Although Headmaster Moses Merrill was willing to teach the girls, he thought it best to wait for the subcommittee's decision. Ultimately the subcommittee recommended that a separate Latin School for girls be established.

The Rev. Dr. Michael E. Haynes Early Education Center is a small, urban, early childhood Inclusive Practice School (IPS) with a program that provides high academic and behavioral standards in a school community that welcomes diversity and respects the difference of others. We believe that children learn at different rates and in different ways. We believe that young children benefit from learning in groups and that they learn best when they are actively engaged and interested. We aim to empower children to become increasingly self-directed, disciplined and independent learners. We strive to nourish young children with acquiring the skills and the confidence they need to pursue their own intellectual interests. The child who knows how to learn and loves to learn is well prepared for the future.
