Young Achievers Mission Statement

BACKGROUND & MISSION

The Young Achievers Science & Mathematics Pilot School (Young Achievers) is one of eleven pilot schools in Boston that were founded in response to the Massachusetts Educational Reform Act of 1993. The goal of the Pilot school program is to develop pioneering models of education within the Boston Public School district and to disseminate best practices to other urban public schools. Pilot schools are laboratories for educational innovation and as such, they are freed from most union regulations and central office oversight.
