Boston Collegiate In Action
Our curriculum is drawn directly from the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and reflects our belief that students must master a core set of basic, academic skills, before they can move on to master higher-level, abstract material. In English, this means that middle school students must take two hours of English each day to hone their reading and writing skills. In Math, this means that students must know their times tables before they can master algebra. In History, this means that students must understand the basic facts surrounding historical events before they can discuss the contemporary relevance of those events. And in Science, this means students must learn the basic operational procedures surrounding scientific experiments before they can design independent research projects.
