Welcome to Dorchester Campus

Roxbury Prep Dorchester Campus is located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. The school was built on the successes of the Mission Hill and Lucy Stone campuses, reaching even more Boston families. Students from Roxbury Prep’s middle schools (5-8) have the opportunity to attend Roxbury Prep High School for grades 9 to 12.

The Dorchester Campus welcomed its first class of 5th graders in August 2012.

Academics and Culture

Longer School Day

To ensure that every student masters each and every standard, we provide students with a longer school day.

Curriculum and Development

Engaged in extensive professional development, coaching, and teamwork, our teachers develop units and lessons aligned with quarterly comprehensive assessments (IAs) directly aligned with Massachusetts Frameworks and Roxbury Prep curricula. These assessments and supporting materials form the base for the data-driven instructional model that has greatly enhanced student achievement.

Community Meetings

Every week, each grade level’s teachers and students gather for Community Meeting to celebrate the week. Led by our principal, these gatherings celebrate student achievement and culture. We also use these times to talk about upcoming events, and current events in our community, nation and world. Friends and families are always welcome!

Athletics and Enrichment

Many students stay after school to attend tutoring or after school activities, including Dance Club, Griffin Pride Council, Basketball, Soccer & Track and Field. Throughout the school year, students go on several field trips, including cultural visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, the Blue Hills Reservation, and Washington, D.C.

Our Foundation

Roxbury Prep prepares students for college and beyond. We achieve this with three high-quality, rigorous, aligned middle school campuses that serve students in grades 5 through 8.

Community

We use our talents to make positive contributions to our communities. Through weekly Community Meeting, after school clubs, and local partnerships, Roxbury Prep students enrich their own school community, contribute to the neighborhoods of Roxbury and Dorchester, and benefit from the support of Boston community organizations and philanthropic supporters.

Character

With mandatory uniforms, a structured learning environment, and a school supported by an Advisory curriculum, Roxbury Prep ensures that students develop the academic, social, and moral skills required for success in college and in life.

Great Teachers

Without good teachers, nothing else matters. Teachers are provided extensive support and coaching in curriculum development, instruction, and assessment, delivering engaging daily lesson and thoughtful, strategic unit plans.
