The Mission Hill School is a Boston Public School, serving children in grades K-8. We are a small community, with approximately 170 students. Our Multi-age classrooms typically consist of no more than 20 students and most children spend two years with the same teacher.

Our staff includes: 1 principal, 11 lead teachers, 11 support staff members including interns, a full-time art teacher, a developer, part-time music teachers for strings, band instruments and chorus, and two general aides. A number of other staff include: a learning specialist, family-school liaison, an occupational therapist, a curriculum specialist, a school nurse, and several other adjunct positions.

Mission Hill Students have a full working library on site, and also have access to current technology. All Grade 4-8 classrooms have computers that are connected to the Internet. We also have a relationship with the Parker Hill branch of the Boston Public Library, and use their resources as well.

Our after-school program is run by Mission Hill School staff members. We also offer sports programs for students in grades 6-8. Sports include: basketball, Soccer, Flag Football and in the winter months, a program called Chill, which takes city children snowboarding and provides all of the necessary equipment. Community service is also a part of our curriculum, and middle-school aged children participate in a program which places them in different internships in the area.

Mission Hill School is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools, a national network of schools and regional centers which embrace the same common principles of education. Among these principles are small school size, authentic assessment, equitable education, and democratic governance.
