## Resource

In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, join Headmaster Chris Post and the leadership team from the Boys' Latin School of Maryland (United States) as they discuss their approach to creating a boy-friendly school. Sparked by the insights of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the school implemented a bold door-to-door cell phone ban and re-imagined daily schedules to prioritize human connection over digital convenience. Discover how these philosophical shifts translate into on-the-ground practice, from creative playgrounds in the lower school to autonomous choice blocks in the middle school, and peer-led clubs in the upper years. The conversation highlights how high-impact, low-cost structural adjustments can foster genuine friendship and leadership among students. Tune in for a practical roadmap to giving boyhood back to boys. IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education music composed and performed by Tom DiGiovanni. IBSC
