Founded in 2015, our mission is simple: provide a world-class, college preparatory school to Springfield children and prepare them for success in high school, college, and life.  We do this by focusing on rigorous academics and character development, by building a joyful school environment, and by building a school culture that values hard work and intellectual challenge.

What makes us unique?

  • Small school = A safe and structured environment for all students.
  • Longer school day = More time to close existing achievement gaps and provide a rich and diverse curriculum. 
  • Data driven instruction and operations = A high functioning organization that uses data to track and get results.
  • High quality teacher coaching and development = A mission-aligned, committed, and professional teaching staff.
  • Emphasis on literacy = An intensive literacy program so that students are prepared to succeed in all subject areas.
  • Character instruction = Instruction on respect, integrity, and grit so students become responsible scholars and citizens.

As a public school, we operate on public dollars, just as district schools do.  In Massachusetts, however, charter schools receive 22 percent less funding than their district counterparts.  Your support helps to close that gap, so we can get to work closing the achievement gap.

Thank you for helping to give Springfield’s kids a world-class education!
