Boston Renaissance Charter School

Boston Renaissance Charter Public School is a public charter school in Hyde Park that has served Boston children since 1995. Its mission is to foster academic, social, and emotional growth while building confidence, character, and citizenship. The school takes a whole-child approach, pairing rigorous academics with targeted support services and a strong focus on equity, so that each student is known, supported, and encouraged to love learning.

Instruction is aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and Common Core standards. A dedicated team of mental health professionals supports students’ social and emotional well-being, and staff receive training in the same areas. The school describes itself as working toward an anti-racist environment, auditing its systems for bias and celebrating differences among students and families. Teachers are treated as leaders expected to reflect on and continually improve their practice.
