Marblehead Community Charter Public School

Marblehead Community Charter Public School (MCCPS) is a public charter school serving students in grades 4 through 8. Its mission is to help children become capable, self-determining and fully engaged critical and creative thinkers, preparing them for high school and beyond. Learning centers on project-based work and community service learning, and students are expected to generate their own questions, direct their inquiry and defend their findings.

The school has operated since 1995. Each trimester ends with an Exhibition, a public showcase of student project work built around a global theme that ties together skills and content from several subjects. Learning extends beyond the classroom through immersive experiences and community-building adventures, and the school offers music and performing arts. Students and families also take part in service efforts, such as a team walk to support My Brother’s Table.
