Another Course To College

"Another Course to College" (ACC) is a unique, college-preparatory pilot school within the Boston Public Schools district, located in Hyde Park. Founded with the mission of providing a rigorous academic environment for students who might otherwise be overlooked, the school maintains a specialized focus on preparing its students for success in four-year university settings. By emphasizing high academic standards and providing a supportive, small-school culture, ACC aims to bridge the achievement gap and ensure that its graduates are not only college-ready but also equipped with the critical thinking skills necessary for long-term career success.

The school is well-regarded for its emphasis on a humanities-based curriculum and its commitment to fostering strong relationships between students and faculty. Because of its status as a pilot school, ACC has more autonomy than traditional district schools, allowing it to tailor its scheduling and instructional methods to better meet the specific needs of its student body. For families in the Boston area, Another Course to College serves as a vital pathway for students seeking a challenging, focused educational experience that prioritizes higher education attainment as a central goal of the high school journey.
