Boston Preparatory Charter School

Boston Preparatory Charter School, known as Boston Prep, is an independent, tuition-free public charter school in Hyde Park for middle and high school students. Its stated mission is to prepare students to succeed in four-year colleges and to embody, in thought and action, lifelong ethical growth. The program is built as an integrated middle school, high school, and college program, so students and families work with teachers across several grade levels and form close relationships over time.

Academics follow a published course catalog and are backed by counseling, library and media resources, and a summer reading list. Support continues after graduation through the Persistence Project and dedicated alumni resources for students working through college. Outside class, students can join athletic teams, extracurricular activities, and summer enrichment. Student services include special education and English language learner programming, a mental health team, a school nurse, and parent action committees that bring families into school life.
