Archbishop Williams High School

Archbishop Williams High School is a coeducational Catholic school in Braintree for students in grades 7 through 12. Its academic program aims to build a strong foundation of knowledge and critical thinking, with Advanced Placement classes and dual enrollment courses that let students earn college credit. Faith is part of daily life through prayer, theology classes, liturgical celebrations and service projects, and the school emphasizes teamwork and mutual support among students.

A distinctive feature is the mid-day “Bishops Block,” which gives students time to join more than 100 clubs and activities during the school day, so those with after-school commitments can still take part. Athletics are offered across all grade levels, and the school frames sports as a path to character growth as well as competition. Students come from many surrounding towns and cities, and the student body also includes students from five foreign countries.
