- or Both! German Shepherd Dogs are the chameleons of the dog world.

Morgan Baden April 23rd, 2014. In 1635, a handful of students first met in the private home of a headmaster in the fledgling city of Boston to form Boston Latin school. It was the very first public school opened in America, and today it marks its 369th birthday. (Pretty cool that it shares a birthday with Shakespeare!) Boston Latin's doors are still open, serving about 2,400 students.
Benjamin Franklin Statue & Boston Latin School. Boston Latin School, founded on April 23, 1635, is the oldest public school in America. It offered free education to boys - rich or poor - while girls attended private schools at home. Until the completion of the schoolhouse in 1645, classes were held in the home of the first headmaster, Philemon Pormort.
