Our new school will be located in the heart of Roxbury at 71 Proctor Street in the Newmarket neighborhood. The site is adjacent to Clifford Park which offers such amenities as baseball fields, basketball and tennis courts.
The new facility will include a full-sized gymnasium, performing arts spaces for stage production, state-of-the-art science labs, and a large cafeteria.
All Roxbury Prep schools use Boston Public Schools Transportation for bussing. We are required to follow all BPS Transportation rules for yellow school busses and student bus passes. 6th-grade students who live more than 1.5 miles away from Roxbury Prep will be assigned a yellow bus. 7th-12th grade students are not eligible for a yellow bus. All 7th-12th grade students who live in Boston will receive a free M7 on the first day of school which is valid for the entire school year.

- MBTA Buses: Several MBTA bus routes as well as the Fairmount Line Commuter Rail service operate within one half-mile of our new school.

Support From Our Community
Former City Councilor Frank Baker
"I believe Roxbury Prep’s investment and vision will add to the positive momentum we have worked so hard to build and I am excited to welcome a new organization to our neighborhood."
State Senator Liz Miranda
"This significant new investment into the Newmarket community also offers a very timely indication of confidence in the neighborhood’s bright future. I believe that the design of the facility will enhance the streetscape, compliment Clifford Park and surrounding City of Boston investments. A stable, institutional presence of this caliber will set an appropriately high standard and induce further investment in Newmarket while strengthening the existing student resources in the neighborhood."
State Representative Chynah Tyler
"Roxbury Prep has long-standing proven results educating Boston’s young residents, preparing them for successful college careers and beyond. I am living proof as a proud Roxbury Prep Alumna! For a school that serves a student body that is 98% students of color and 75% economically disadvantaged, having one, permanent high school building will provide the stability and modern school facility they deserve."
Stephanie Monteiro Merritt
"As Interim President and CEO of The BASE, and future neighbor across Clifford Park, I am confident Roxbury Prep’s investment and vision will add to the community-building efforts we have made over the years, and I am excited to welcome a new organization to our neighborhood."
