Getting here from West Medford Station

The MBTA Lowell Line stops at West Medford Station with service toward North Station. In the morning, an outbound train from North Station toward Lowell/Andover stops at West Medford around 7:00–7:30 and can put you at the station by about 7:35.

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.
