A broad forest of learning
A broad forest of studies
The word academic comes from the Akademia, the grove of trees outside Athens where Plato taught his students. The first academy in history was a grove of learning, and that is where our name comes from: Bosen joins words meaning broad and forest.
Our crest tells the same story. Three trees stand on a rise, one for each way we help students grow:
- The cypress, for research. Tall and narrow, it grows straight up, reaching past the textbook toward something new.
- The oak, for tutoring. Broad and strong, it is the foundation everything else grows from.
- The olive, for planning. The tree of Plato's grove and a symbol of wisdom, it grows slowly and lives for centuries, like a well-planned academic path.
Our motto, Lata silva studiorum, means "a broad forest of studies": broad in reach, deep in roots.
