Ministry Highlight
By Annette Reich
The very first primary school in the United States was Boston Latin School, founded in 1635 in Boston, Massachusetts. The Puritans established Boston Latin School in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Puritans saw education as essential for teaching children to read the Bible and instill Puritan values. At the time, it was a classical grammar school modeled after the Boston Grammar School in England, focusing on Latin, Greek, and classical literature to prepare students for Harvard College, which opened the following year.
While Boston Latin School was not the first public school in the modern sense, it was the first formal school in the colonies dedicated to educating American youth, and it remains in operation today.
America’s school systems have come a long way since 1635. We no longer teach the Bible or pray in our public schools, but we are thankful for educational options for our students. We are also grateful for Christian teachers and leaders who work in this mission field. Let’s remember to encourage them and pray for them as they return to the classroom!
