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 with a mission that is simple yet ambitious: to prepare each student for college. Students are admitted each year by random public lottery. Our application for the 2025-2026 will open in October.
Any student who will be entering grades 5 through 10 during the 2024-2025 school year and who resides in Massachusetts can apply to Boston Collegiate. We encourage all eligible students to submit an application to our lottery, including students who are homeless and who are protected under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which ensures homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free and appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as provided to other children and youths. Boston Collegiate will admit any homeless student who enrolls through the same processes as other students as descripted in our Enrollment Policy, even if they do not have documents typically required for enrollment.
Per Massachusetts law, priority is given to students who fall under two categories: (1) City of Boston residents and (2) siblings of a current Boston Collegiate student.
