Welcome
Welcome to the Boston Public Schools website!
Our Mission
We welcome the children of this city into the Boston Public Schools, where effective teaching and learning prepare all of our students to achieve at high levels, and where the entire community works together to focus on children.
Help in many languages
The Boston Public Schools translates many publications for families from English into the seven major languages spoken in our schools: Cape Verdean creole, Chinese, Haitian creole, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese.
