About Match Charter Public School

Match Charter Public School is a free, high-performing charter public school in Boston serving up to 1,250 students from PreK through 12th grade. Our mission is to prepare students—particularly multilingual learners and those who would be the first in their families to earn a college degree—for success in college and careers, achieving economic security and mobility. Students gain acceptance via an annual blind public lottery open to all Boston residents.

Our school community reflects amazing racial and cultural diversity, with families representing over 20 countries of origin and speaking more than 20 different languages at home. Ninety-eight percent of our students are people of color. We are prepared to serve a diverse range of needs: 23% of our students qualify for special education services, and 19% are English Language Learners.

Match's core values are Equity, Freedom, Teamwork, Innovation, and Accountability. We are actively reframing our organizational processes and policies to be truly anti-racist. We believe that a staff diverse by race and other factors, a professional environment inclusive of all perspectives, and a culturally competent curriculum are vital to our goals.
