What makes the MATCH School different?
Small size Teachers, tutors, and staff value relationships with kids and parents; that's why we invest a lot of time creating and nurturing those connections.
Excellent faculty and staff
Led by High School Principal Meg McDonough (a former MATCH teacher), Middle School Principal Lisa Hwang (a former MATCH Vice Principal), the teachers are some of the best around and are constantly improving their own instruction.
The MATCH Corps
These are outstanding recent college graduates from the best universities around the nation who work full-time as tutors, teaching assistants, and coaches in exchange for a living stipend and housing on the school's third floor. The High School Corps is led by Director Nedra Massenburg the Middle School Corps is led by Director Sara Colon.
University collaborations
We partner with local universities (Boston University and M.I.T.) in various ways. Boston University opens classes to our seniors, also provides tutors, hosts our graduation, and more; M.I.T. hosts our provides scores of tutors, and serves students through its weekend engineering SEED program.
Extended School Day and Year
Our high school day runs 8:30-4:00 Monday through Thursday with a shorter day on Friday. Many students stay after school for extra tutoring, and are also tutored on weekends and during summers. Our middle school day runs from 7:30 to 4:30 Monday through Friday and 6th grade students also attend school on Saturday. |
