Personalized Learning to Suit Every Child
There are many approaches to education, and finding a school that matches your family’s academic philosophy can create a positive experience for your child.

The Boston area has a rich history of private education — some of the schools listed here have been in business for well over a century. All share a distinctive commitment to teaching, and many go beyond traditional curricula to emphasize the arts, science, or technology. Each creates a distinct sense of community. Whether you are looking for a traditional, progressive, religious, or secular environment for your child, there is an independent school that will meet your needs.
