- or Both! German Shepherd Dogs are the chameleons of the dog world. We see them on the news sniffing out contraband, as GSDs are a favorite breed of police K9 units, and their deep bark makes them a great four-legged, home security system. But to Nikki Fox of Livingston, Montana, her German Shepherd, Klaus, is just another member of the family - a furry one.
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.
Answer the first public school in England was eton. opened in the 1400's Answer We have to be careful in this answer because the term public school means different things to different people. In the UK, a public school is independent, which makes it the equivalent of a private school in the US. Given that definition, Eton is probably the oldest, though I cannot say it was the first. In the US, a public school is a state run school. It is hard to know what the first school was under this definition. Clearly there were schools financed at public expense in the Roman Empire, especially if you include schools set up by emperors by decree. The Byzantines had a primary school system open in 425 AD. The oldest state run school in the world is said to be Beverley Grammar School, which was opened in Northumbria in 700 AD.
