Thank you for considering Boston Collegiate Charter School for your child’s education! Boston Collegiate is a tuition-free, public school for students in grade 5 through 12. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to prepare each student for college. Students are admitted each year by random public lottery.

APPLICATION AND LOTTERY

Our application for the 2025-2026 school year lottery closed on February 28, 2025 and our public lottery was held on Thursday, March 5, 2025. Our application for the 2026-2027 school year will open in October and will be available through SchoolMint.

PROSPECTIVE FAMILY OPEN HOUSES

We’d love the opportunity to meet you in person to share more about our school and to give you a tour! Our prospective family open house dates will be posted in August for the upcoming school year.

FAQs

Absolutely not! The only criteria required for students to apply are to be residents of Massachusetts and to be entering grades 5-10.

If you applied, you would have a SchoolMint account. Try to login with your email there to find records of your applications. If you are not able to log in, or have trouble, feel free to reach out to us at any time to confirm your student’s application. We can be reached at familyengagement@bostoncollegiate.org. Furthermore, our team goes through several rounds of data cleaning to ensure each unique applicant is given the equal and random opportunity to attend our school. When in doubt, submit your application again and we will follow up with you if a duplicate exists.

 

Each year, our waitlist expires on February 15th for the current year.  We encourage all prospective students to reapply in October, as our waitlists do not rollover per Massachusetts state regulation.
