Study Education in the Heart of Boston

Boston always ranks at the top of the country’s “most educated cities” lists, and it should come as no surprise—education is in our DNA.

Boston is home to the first public school in the United States, with the founding of Boston Latin School in 1635. Other firsts followed—the first public elementary school, first public school system and first public high school.

And to this day, it’s the students who are put first. The city of Boston alone is home to nearly
75,000 school-aged children across the city’s 125 public schools, as well as dozens of parochial
and private schools. Boston’s schools are focused on closing achievement gaps and making a
successful future a reality for all. Boston’s schoolteachers are trained to help students realize their
academic potential; to eradicate language, social, cultural or economic barriers; and to prepare
students for the future—for college, for the Innovation Economy, for STEM careers, and for
making a difference in their communities.
