About the Organization:

Boston Preparatory Charter Public School (Boston Prep) is a free, public school, offering a rigorous curriculum to 530 students and 278 alumni, the majority coming from Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, and Hyde Park. We operate as an integrated middle school, high school, and alumni support model. At the root of our programming is a belief that all students can succeed in a four-year college.

Boston Prep has recently moved into a brand new state of the art facility that will support our future expansion from 530 to 700 students over the next four years.

Mission: Boston Prep prepares students to succeed in a four-year college and embody, in thought and action, lifelong ethical growth. We foster an environment structured around scholarship and personal growth that cultivates students' virtues of courage, compassion, integrity, perseverance, and respect.

To achieve our ambitious goals, our approach includes six essentials that we believe leads to our success:
  • We have an exceptional adult team; our team is everything
  • We hold high expectation for all students
  • We foster ethical growth, inside and outside of the classroom
  • We have an invested, passionate student culture
  • We offer a range of supports, academic, social, and emotional, to all students
  • We ensure college persistence through a number of alumni supports

  • Currently, 76% of our graduates are persisting in college, 100% of our students have been accepted to four-year colleges, and 98% of our alumni have matriculated to college the semester after graduating from Boston Prep.

    We believe that exceptional student gains are the direct result of excellent teaching and programming and acknowledge the importance of students' college readiness skills in achieving our mission. We are a mission-driven adult team committed to refining and improving our practice such that our students can chart the life course they aspire to. We hope you will consider applying.
