Boys' Latin of Philadelphia
A Charter School Serving 500 Students in Pennsylvania
Boys' Latin of Philadelphia — a charter school serving 800 students in grades 6-12 — is the only all-boys public school in Pennsylvania. With its mission of developing confident and independent learners to become active and engaged global citizens, the school needed a website that would help with both meeting enrollment goals and informing current families.
