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 staffLed by Principal Jorge Miranda (a former MATCH teacher), and Executive Director Alan Safran (a former MA Deputy Commissioner of Education), the teachers have an average of 5 years in the classroom, and are some of the best around.
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 an AmeriCorps stipend and housing on the school's third floor. Led by Director Lisa Hwang.
University collaborationsWe partner with local universities (Boston University, M.I.T., and Harvard) in various ways. Boston University opens classes to our seniors, also provides tutors, hosts our graduation, and more; M.I.T. hosts our summer school, provides scores of tutors, and serves students through its weekend engineering SEED program; Harvard supports our after-school programs and provides tutors for our students.
Extended School Day and Year Our day runs 8:30-5:00 Monday through Thursday with a shorter day on Friday. Many students also are tutored on weekends and during summers.
