Our Difference
By empowering girls in grades 3-8 to think bigger and bolder, we are empowering the future.
Why All Girls?
Mother Caroline Academy is the only tuition-free, all-girls independent elementary and middle school in the City of Boston.
We transform the lives of girls from underrepresented neighborhoods in Boston through a rigorous, values-based education.
At Mother Caroline, every peer leader and every academic award recipient is a girl. Our students can express themselves freely, ask questions, and participate more in class discussions than they might in a co-educational environment. The message our students receive is that they can excel at anything they put their minds and hearts into. They learn that there is no limit to what they can achieve.
Our Educational Philosophy
We aim to empower students and families to imagine a future with limitless possibilities.
We want to guide our students to become leaders in their communities and the greater world.
To do that, our curriculum emphasizes skills-based education in language arts, reading, math, science, social studies, world religions and world languages. We give our students 21st century skills while challenging their creativity and building their abilities to solve problems in innovative ways.
Our teaching reflects four core values:
LEADERSHIP
Every student is encouraged to become a leader, and to develop critical and independent thinking.
RESPECT
Every student is honored for their individuality and the unique gifts they bring to our community of learners.
RESPONSIBILITY
Every student is taught to be responsible, accountable participants in the classroom.
PERSERVERANCE
Each student is instilled with the importance of a steadfast work ethic that will help them today, in their high school years, college, and in life.
