Students gain acceptance to our schools via an annual blind public lottery open to all Boston residents.
Our families bring amazing racial and cultural diversity to the school community—they represent over 20 different countries of origin with over 20 different languages spoken at home. 98% of our students are people of color. Our students bring a diversity of needs to our school, and we are prepared to serve them: 23% of our students qualify for special education services; 19% of our student body are English Language Learners.
Match’s core values are Equity, Freedom, Teamwork, Innovation, and Accountability. We are working to reframe our organizational processes and policies to be truly anti-racist. At Match, we believe that three aspects of our work and organization—a staff that is diverse by race and other factors, a professional environment that is inclusive of all perspectives, and a curriculum in our PreK-12 school that is culturally competent—are vital to our goals and mission.
