Getting here from Medford
We are a Medford school — 30 Salem Street, a few minutes east of Medford Square. From Medford Hillside, Wellington, Glenwood, South Medford, or the Fellsway, this is a five-to-ten-minute drive, and many families walk or bike from the surrounding blocks.
The 101 runs along Salem Street between Malden Center and Sullivan Square and stops near the school; the 100, 95, and 134 all reach Medford Square, a short connection or walk away. From most of Medford, leaving home at 7:35 to 7:40 is plenty for an 8:00 arrival.
If you live in Medford, the simplest next step is to come see a school day. Call the office and we will find a morning that works.

- A Medford family can start at four in K-4 kindergarten and stay through a high school diploma without changing schools.
- $375 a month all in, $340 for church members — a private Christian option a few minutes from home.
How the school works
Your child is tested in each subject and placed where they actually are — not where their birthday says they should be. They set their own daily goals, work at their own desk, and can't move forward until they've mastered the material at 80% or better. A student who is ahead in math isn't held back. A student who needs another two weeks on fractions gets another two weeks. Nobody gets left behind and nobody gets bored.
