Massachusetts is home to many well-known preparatory schools, colleges, and universities offering a variety of degree programs in design and visual design. There are more than 40 colleges located in the greater Boston area alone. Massachusetts has historically had an unwavering commitment to education. The town of Franklin has been noted to be the birthplace of public education in North America, due to the fact that education pioneer Horace Mann was born in the town, and The Franklin Public Library is the first public library in America. Massachusetts also claims many education “firsts” including being home to the country's oldest high school, Boston Latin School (founded 1635), America's first publicly funded high school, Dedham, (founded 1643), oldest college, Harvard University (founded 1636), oldest incorporated preparatory school, Phillips Academy (founded 1778), first racially integrated high school, Lowell, and oldest municipally supported free library, Boston Public Library (founded 1848). In 1852, Massachusetts became the first state to pass compulsory school attendance laws.
